A mesocorticolimbic signature of pleasure in the human brain

2022-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Pleasure is a fundamental driver of human behavior, yet its neural basis remains largely unknown. Rodent studies highlight opioidergic neural circuits connecting the nucleus accumbens, ventral pallidum, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex as critical for the initiation and regulation of pleasure, and human neuroimaging studies exhibit some translational parity. However, whether activation observed across these region...
