          Serotonin Key to Social Aversion During Withdrawal From Opioids

          Opioid withdrawal cuts off the supply of serotonin to the nucleus accumbens, dramatically reducing sociability in mice and increasing social aversion.

          Motivation Is Affected by Oxidative Stress, but Nutrition Can Help

          Higher levels of glutathione in the nucleus accumbens correlated with better and more steady performance in motivation-based tasks. Findings suggest improvements in accumbal anti-oxidant function that can be acquired via diet or supplementation may be a feasible approach to help boost motivation.

          A Better Understanding of How the Most Commonly Used ADHD Medication Works

          Study reveals how methylphenidate interacts with cognitive control networks and attention behaviors. Methylphenidate changes spontaneous neural activity in reward and cognitive control systems in children with ADHD. The changes result in more stable sustained attention.

          Sugar Is Processed Differently in the Brains of Obesity-Prone vs. Obesity-Resistant Rats

          Glucose takes longer to get into the nucleus accumbens of obesity-prone rat models. Researchers also discovered excess levels of glutamate in obesity-prone rats, implying a deficiency in the neurotransmitter recycling process normally maintained by astrocytes.

          Early-Life Stress Can Disrupt Maturation of Brain’s Reward Circuits, Promoting Disorders

          Researchers have identified a novel stress-sensitive pathway in the reward system of the brain that releases corticotropin-releasing hormone in response to stress. Adverse experiences cause this pathway to become overactive.

          Matcha Tea Powder Has Antidepressant-Like Effects

          Researchers say Matcha, a traditional Japanese tea, can help boost mood and mental performance. Match tea powder activates dopaminergic neural networks and improves depressive symptoms in mice that previously experienced stress as a result of social isolation.
