Abstract
Chen Jinbo, Sun Dan, Yang Weibian and Fan Xiaohe
Nucleus accumbens (NAc) is one of the larger nuclei in the basal forebrain. It has complex connections with other structures in the brain and has various functions. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that a variety of mental diseases may lead to abnormalities in the volume of nucleus accumbens and related nerve loops. With the development of imaging, it will be helpful to observe the volume changes of nucleus accumbens. This article reviews the research progress on the changes of nucleus accumbens volume and several common clinical mental disorders.
