The Regulation of Effort Exertion by the Nucleus Accumbens Core
… to play an important role in regulating effort exertion. Effort can be explained as the energetic costs of an action relative to its long-term benefits. Using fixed-ratio schedules of reinforcement, different effort requirements can be imposed upon mice, as the cost per benefit is determined by …
