- Areas targeting the nucleus Accumbens: retrograde injection in medial shell Nucleus
Accumbens:

,- The rat brain: nucleus Accumbens neurophysiology




o Do nucleus Accumbens cells receive input from the hippocampus and or the
amygdala? Do cells get both inputs?




- Areas talk to one another via which circuit?

,- Interaction by means of electrophysiology: nucleus Accumbens, addiction,
interactions between place and emotion.
o Neurons responding to hippocampus stimulation in blue
o Neurons responding to amygdala stimulation in purple
o Neurons responding to hippocampus and amygdala stimulation in red
o




- From single channel patch to large scale population recordings: time versus
resolution.

, - How the brain is build: deep into the brain




- How the brain is build: deeper into the brain
o The neuron gets input from other neurons:
the synapse




- How the brain is build: even further into
the brain
o The receptors in the membranes
of the dendrites bind to
neurotransmitters




- How the brain is build: and again,
even further into the brain
o These receptors are build from
individual proteins that are coded
from DNA and RNA and synthesized
