Effects of dopamine depletion in the nucleus accumbens on lateral hypothalamic self-stimulation in the rat

Considerable evidence implicates dopamine in brain stimulation reward. For example, dopamine antagonists or destruction of dopaminergic neurons reduce the reward effectiveness of medial forebrain bundle stimulation. Assessment of such effects is complicated by across-subject averaging and by motor d...
