… brain. In this study, Tye identified two populations of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, based on other brain regions that they communicate with. One set of neurons sends information to the nucleus accumbens, which is … the “signal” is the meaningful input coming in, such as sensory information. When neurons that connect to the PAG …
