Nucleus accumbens core and shell are necessary for reinforcer devaluation effects on Pavlovian conditioned responding

The nucleus accumbens (NA) has been hypothesized to be part of a circuit in which cue-evoked information about expected outcomes is mobilized to guide behavior. Here we tested this hypothesis using a Pavlovian reinforcer devaluation task, previously applied to assess outcome-guided behavior after d...
