Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleus accumbens is a brain region involved in reward processing, and its implication in DID suggests that the presence of alters (different identities or personalities) may offer a reward for the individual, such as a sense of escape from traumatic pain or emotional distress. This is consistent with the idea that DID is a coping mechanism in response to extreme stress or trauma, and that the alters may serve as a protective function for the person's psyche.
