placebo in the treatment of depression in patients with AUD (Iovineo).

Which of the following neurological pathways is primarily responsible for this
effect?
,Dorsal raphe nucleus projections to nucleus accumbens
Nucleus accumbens projections to ventral tegmental area
Ventral tegmental area projections to dorsal raphe nucleus
Ventral tegmental area projections to nucleus accumbens Right Ans -
Ventral tegmental area projections to nucleus accumbens
The positive reinforcing effects of substances and pleasurable behaviors due
to dopaminergic projections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the
nucleus accumbens (NAcc) represents the neural mechanism most
consistently implicated in the development of addiction, especially in early
stages. The NAcc along with the olfactory tubule are located in the ventral
striatum. The dorsal raphe nucleus is a midbrain cluster of serotonergic
neurons, which may be relevant for the effects of certain substances such as
hallucinogens and MDMA, but is not as universally implicated in substance
and behavioral positive reinforcement.
