In this paper we investigate the role of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in behavior in mice, identifying a rostral hotspot and molecular correlates in the NAc that regulate feeding.

The nucleus accumbens shell regulates hedonic feeding via a rostral hotspot
Within the nucleus accumbens shell, a spatially defined rostral subregion selectively modulates hedonic feeding, revealing functional heterogeneity in reward circuitry underlying food consumption.
