Functional heterogeneity in brain reward circuitry : characterization of a subpopulation of reward neurons linked to energy balance
The neural circuitry that gives rise to the rewarding effects of goal-objects and goal-directed behaviors can be directly studied with the use of brain stimulation reward (BSR). Brief trains of electrical stimulation to some brain regions produces a highly rewarding effect that rats will learn to se...
