Abstract
► Deep brain stimulation is spreading from neurology to psychiatry, then addiction. ► The lateral hypothalamus, amygdala and lateral habenula are not very good targets. ► Nucleus accumbens is the current chosen target, but not necessarily a good choice. ► The dorsal striatum, prefrontal cortex might be better choices for addiction. ► We explain why the subthalamic nucleus is the right target for addiction.
