Hedonic values for sensory objects are computed by nuclei located in the mesocorticolimbic reward system. These nuclei are distributed across several different anatomical structures, including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), the amygdala, the insula, the striatum (including the nucleus accumbens and the pallidum), and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). During hedonic evaluation (the assessment of objects in terms of how good or bad they are for the organism in its current, past and anticipated states), this system receives signals projected from sensory systems that represent perceptual information about the evaluated object, from systems that monitor homeostatic, autonomic and endocrine states, and from executive and semantic systems that represent knowledge, expectations, behavioural options and situational conditions and demands.

❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠

In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.

SO EXCITED to share our latest work demonstrating that the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) regulates stress vulnerability!!!

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10)
