Abstract The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives direct viscerosensory vagal afferent input that drives autonomic reflexes, neuroendocrine function and modulates behaviour. A subpopulation NTS neurons project to accumbens (NAc); however, this NTS‐NAc pathway remains unknown. combination neuroanatomical tracing, slice electrophysiology fibre photometry was used in mice and/or rats determine how fit within network. projection are predominantly located medial caudal portions with 54 ±...
