Activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can modulate ventral striatopallidum and nucleus accumbens activity in a top-down manner, providing a mechanism for tracking internally driven approach motivation (Heller et al., 2009) and regulating craving associated with phasic nucleus accumbens activity (Robbins and Everitt, 1996).
