Distribution and compartmental organization of GABAergic medium-sized spiny neurons in the mouse Nucleus Accumbens

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a critical brain region involved in many reward-related behaviors. The NAc comprises major compartments the core and the shell, which encompass several subterritories. GABAergic medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) constitute the output neurons of the NAc core and shell....
