depression and AUD, those who were not given antidepressant
medication at the time of discharge, 100% resumed alcohol use in 4

Nucleus accumbens projections to ventral tegmental area
Ventral tegmental area projections to dorsal raphe nucleus
Ventral tegmental area projections to nucleus accumbens
✓ 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.
