The nucleus accumbens shell and the extended amygdala are subcortical nuclei involved in adaptative control of behavior. These areas are innervated by dopamine neurons that convey incentive-reward information associated with novel, hedonic, stressful or aversive stimuli.
A major focus of our research is to understand how molecular signaling pathways engaged following dopamine receptors stimulation, participate in behavioral responses. After a brief overview of the recent data obtained regarding the anatomical organization of DA-expressing cells in the nucleus accumbens shell and the nuclei of the extended amygdala I will focus on the mechanisms through which dopamine signaling within the extended amygdala could participate to the control generalization of anxiety and fear.
