NMDA receptor-dependent plasticity in the nucleus accumbens connects reward-predictive cues to approach responses

Conditioned stimuli elicit phasic changes in nucleus accumbens (NAc) firing that invigorate approach responses to predicted rewards. Here the authors show that NAc neurons acquire cue-evoked responses during learning as a result of excitatory plasticity within the NAc.
