Addiction
This neurotransmitter is critical to the "wanting" component of substance use disorders.
What is dopamine
This structure is the hub of the emotional network.
What is the amygdala
BOLD is an abbreviation for this.
What is blood oxygen level-dependent
This is the branch of the nervous system that coordinates the "flight or fight" response
What is the sympathetic nervous system
These cranial nerves are the only 3 that to not following an ipsilateral projection pattern.
What is CN 2, 4, and 5
This brain structure is a critical hub in reward circuitry that receives direct input from the VTA.
What is the nucleus accumbens or ventral striatum
This term describes stimuli that evoke an emotional response without prior experience or learning.
What is an emotionally competent stimulus
The BOLD signal is best correlated with this neural signal.
What is the local field potential or LFP
This part of the basal ganglia is a target of deep brain stimulation.
What is the subthalamic nucleus
This task is used to evaluate whether an individual has impairments in value-based decision making that depends on the OFC.
What is the Iowa Gambling task
This subregion of the nucleus accumbens is more involved in the reward and drug seeking behavior in substance use disorders than the other primary subregion.
What is the shell
This nucleus is critical for the autonomic responses of emotional stimuli
What is the central nucleus of the amygdala
This fMRI experimental design compares the BOLD signal during an experiment task to a control task.
What is a block design
This midbrain structure degenerates in Parkinson's disease.
What is the substantia nigra
This nucleus of the thalamus projects to frontal cortical structures in both primates and rodents.
What is the dorsomedial nucleus
This imaging approach has been used to show how brain metabolism is altered in substance use disorders.
What is PET
In this type of conditioning an animal learns to perform responses that successfully avoid an aversive shock.
What is instrumental avoidance conditioning
This fMRI approach looks at how BOLD fluctuations across different brain regions correlate or do not.
What is resting state functional connectivity
This nucleus is adjacent to the optic chiasm and is important for lactation and mating behavior.
What is the supraoptic nucleus.
The climbing fiber detonator synapse on the Purkinje cells originate in this brainstem nucleus.
What is the inferior olivary nucleus.
This white matter tract from the habenula to the rostromedial tegmental nucleus is important for inhibiting the VTA.
Fasciculus retroflexus
Discussion of the posterior hypothalamus from the cortex or low insulin can both lead to this condition.
What is sham rage
This brain network is active when individuals are not doing a task.
What is the default mode network
These two protein complexes are critical for exocytosis.
What are SNAPs and SNARES
This is the name Ron Mandel always wanted to give to a son.
What is Torcula
