Oct 30, 2023 · The nucleus accumbens in turn sends efferent projections to the midbrain, hypothalamus, amygdala, nuclei of the brainstem, and the globus pallidus. The nucleus accumbens, through these broad connections mediates several of its functions.

When rewarding stimuli are experienced, the dopaminergic mesolimbic system is activated which causes the release of dopamine to the targeted nuclei ( Small et al. 2003; Cameron et al. 2014 ). The ventral striatum, including the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), is a major substrate involved in reward ( Marche et al. 2017 ).

May 1, 2023 · The thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), somatostatin, and dopamine are released from the hypothalamus into the blood and travel to the anterior pituitary.

Neurons of the paraventricular nucleus produce the hormone oxytocin, whereas neurons of the supraoptic nucleus produce ADH. These hormones travel along the axons into axon terminals within the posterior pituitary.

Oct 30, 2023 · The hypothalamus is composed of several groups of nuclei which contain neurons that respond to either neural input from widespread regions of the nervous system or non-neural stimuli such as changes in temperature and blood hormone levels.
May 20, 2022 · Such divergence may derive from different neural connections, OT receptor gene dimorphism and methylation, and complex interactions with other hormones. In this review, brain functions of OT and their underlying neural mechanisms as well as the perspectives of their clinical usage are presented.
