PLACE PREFERENCES INDUCED BY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE EXTERNAL LATERAL PARABRACHIAL SUBNUCLEUS IN A SEQUENTIAL LEARNING TASK: PLACE PREFERENCES INDUCED BY NLPBe STIMULATION.

This study examined whether this stimulation can sustain place preference learning in sequential tasks. Results demonstrated that place preferences can also be induced by the electrical stimulation of the NLBe using sequential procedures. These findings suggest that the NLPBe may form part of a brain reward axis that shares certain characteristics with those observed in the processing of natural rewarding agents and especially of drugs of abuse.
