34. The Hypothalamus, Nucleus Accumbens, and Hippocampus Demonstrate Increased Delta Band Power and Coherence During Reward Anticipation

Previous work has shown increased delta band power in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) during reward anticipation. This can serve as a biomarker for closed-loop electrical stimulation to prevent impulsive eating behaviors. However, the circuit underlying increased delta power in the NAc during reward anticipation is not fully understood. We have the rare opportunity to study intracranial EEG (iEEG) activity in areas that may be part of this circuit.
