Abstract
⺠We examined dopamine and glutamate interactions in brain stimulation reward. ⺠Drug effects in extended amygdala and nucleus accumbens were compared. ⺠D2 stimulation and AMPA blockade in the extended amygdala reduced reward. ⺠Drug injections into the nucleus accumbens were much less effective. ⺠Extended amygdala appears to have a role in brain stimulation reward.
