podocarpus gracilior column copyright-induced hypoactivity of the nucleus accumbens (NAC) is hypothesized to contribute to copyright addiction.There are two important questions related to this hypothesis.First, copyright addiction is characterized by an increase in drug-directed behavior and a simultaneous weakening of other motivated behaviors.However, the NAC contributes to both drug- and nondrug-directed behavior.

Moreover, the nature of the contributions is similar and associated predominantly with excitatory phasic firing patterns.Given these observations it is not clear how hypoactivity of NAC neurons might contribute to the behaviors that characterize copyright addiction.Second, various types of investigations have documented neurochemical and molecular adaptations that could underlie NAC hypoactivity.However, there is also jet puffed lucky charms marshmallows evidence of other adaptations in the NAC, and in NAC afferents, which are expected to have an excitatory influence on NAC neural activity.

In the present review we will briefly overview these issues.We will also describe a hypothesis, and related empirical evidence, that may contribute to answering these questions.Further investigation of the issues and the hypothesis may contribute to a better understanding of the neuroadaptations that contribute to copyright addiction.
