Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleus accumbens, ventral tegmental area, and prefrontal cortex are all parts of the brain that are involved in addiction. The nucleus accumbens is associated with reward and pleasure, the ventral tegmental area produces dopamine which is a neurotransmitter involved in pleasure and motivation, and the prefrontal cortex is involved in decision making and impulse control.
