| M A Gerrits, N F Ramsey, G Wolterink, J M van Re. Lack of evidence for an involvement of nucleus accumbens dopamine D1 receptors in the initiation of heroin self-administration in the rat. Psychopharmacology. vol 114. issue 3. 1995-03-16. PMID:7855207. |
the dopamine d1 receptors present in the nac are probably not involved in opiate reward. |

| P I Johnson, J R Stella. N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-induced lesions of the nucleus accumbens and/or ventral pallidum fail to attenuate lateral hypothalamic self-stimulation reward. Brain research. vol 646. issue 1. 1994-09-15. PMID:8055342. |
contrary to motor effects, reward efficacy was relatively unaffected for the nac and vp groups. |

| P I Johnson, J R Stella. N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-induced lesions of the nucleus accumbens and/or ventral pallidum fail to attenuate lateral hypothalamic self-stimulation reward. Brain research. vol 646. issue 1. 1994-09-15. PMID:8055342. |
however, this explanation is questionable given the fact that nmda lesions which encompassed both the nac and vp had little effect on reward efficacy. |

| A Agmo, M Góme. Sexual reinforcement is blocked by infusion of naloxone into the medial preoptic area. Behavioral neuroscience. vol 107. issue 5. 1994-02-15. PMID:8280390. |
the nac appears to be a critical structure for drug-induced reward. |

| C H West, A N Clancy, R P Michae. Enhanced responses of nucleus accumbens neurons in male rats to novel odors associated with sexually receptive females. Brain research. vol 585. issue 1-2. 1992-09-29. PMID:1511333. |
findings demonstrated that pairing odors with the presentation of sexually receptive females enhanced the responsiveness of nac neurons to those odors and indicated a role for nac in associating environmental stimuli with natural reward processes. |

| D Beitner-Johnson, E J Nestle. Morphine and cocaine exert common chronic actions on tyrosine hydroxylase in dopaminergic brain reward regions. Journal of neurochemistry. vol 57. issue 1. 1991-07-23. PMID:1675665. |
we studied levels of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity and phosphorylation state in the ventral tegmental area (vta) and nucleus accumbens (nac) in an effort to understand better the mechanisms by which these brain reward regions are influenced by opiates and cocaine. |

| K Sasaki, T Ono, K Muramoto, H Nishino, M Fukud. The effects of feeding and rewarding brain stimulation on lateral hypothalamic unit activity in freely moving rats. Brain research. vol 322. issue 2. 1985-02-11. PMID:6150748. |
nevertheless, self-stimulation may occur by activating reward processes other than those related to food, because rewarding nac stimulation does not inhibit lha neurons which are suppressed by food. |
