요약Mesocorticolimbic systems are heavily implicated in the control of reward. Reward contains multiple components that include 'liking', 'wanting', and learning processes (Berridge, 2004; Berridge & Robinson, 2003; Morales & Berridge, 2020).Over many decades, most attention has been paid to understanding 'wanting' and learning components, and 'liking' has remained the least understood. However, recent progress in understanding brain generators of hedonic impact has been made through the identification of brain hedonic hotspots, or small subregions of mesocorticolimbic systems that causally amplify affective 'liking' expressions to pleasant tastes in nucleus accumbens medial shell (NAc), caudolateral ventral pallidum (VP), rostromedial orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and caudal insula in response to a few neurochemical signals including orexin and mu-opioid receptor agonists (Castro et al., 2016; Castro & Berridge, 2014c, 2017; Ho & Berridge, 2013; Mahler et al., 2007; Pecina & Berridge, 2005; K. S. Smith & Berridge, 2005; Soderpalm & Berridge, 2000).Thus far, hedonic hotspot sites within mesocorticolimbic regions have primarily been studied using drug microinjection techniques, such as through the use of mu-opioid, orexin, and endocannabinoid agonists. This leaves open the possibility that hedonic hotspot amplification of 'liking' reactions is a mere artifact of the pharmacological approaches used, rather than a true neurobiological mechanism that exerts hedonic control. In order to provide triangulating evidence that hedonic hotspots are true neurofunctional entities capable of controlling affective responses, I use optogenetic techniques as an alternative method of controlling neuronal activity within known hedonic hotspot sites. Chapter 2 of this dissertation investigates cortical control of 'liking' reactions to determine how neuronal excitation in rostromedial OFC and caudal insula hedonic hotspots increases positive affective responses to sweetness and other pleasant tastes. The existence of cortical hedonic hotspots in OFC and insula raises the possibility that other corticolimbic regions heavily implicated in emotion and affective responses may exist in areas not yet identified. Thus, in Chapter 3 I use ChR2 activations to map a region of mid cingulate cortex in rats that has never been previously tested for hedonic function. I show that activating neurons within a mid-to-caudal region of cingulate cortex nearly doubles positive 'liking' reactions to pleasant tastes, indicating the existence of a new hedonic hotspot not previously characterized. In Chapter 4, my efforts move subcortically to probe the necessity of the caudolateral ventral pallidum hedonic hotspot for normal 'liking'. First, I inhibited local neurons in subregions of VP to determine 'wanting' vs 'liking' contributions in rostral and caudal sites. Then, I further probe VP control of hedonic function by selectively manipulating the activity of VPGABA neurons using ChR2 to excite and iC++ to inhibit GABA populations. This work shows that caudal VPGABA neurons bidirectionally control 'liking' reactions. By comparison, rostral VPGABA neuron activations, which oppositely suppress 'liking' still increase incentive motivation for palatable rewards, and even promote a maladaptive pursuit of pain in some rats.Finally, in Chapter 5 I investigate amygdala control of incentive motivation for intravenous opioids. I pair central amygdala (CeA) neuron stimulation with receipt of a specific laser-paired intravenous reward, the synthetic opioid remifentanil, and show that rats exclusively pursue this laser-paired remifentanil and ignore an identical remifentanil infusion that is never laser paired. Further, in rats choosing between intravenous remifentanil and natural sucrose rewards, pairing CeA with either reward caused CeA ChR2 rats to become 'sucrose addicts' or 'remifentanil addicts' so that only the laser-paired reward becomes pursued. Altogether, this dissertation demonstrates that mesocorticolimbic systems in OFC, insula, cingulate cortex, ventral pallidum, and central amygdala are crucial sites for the control of 'liking' and/or 'wanting' for reward. Importantly however, 'liking' is restricted to small subregions of hedonic hotspots where optogenetic manipulations casually amplify hedonic impact for sweetness. Outside of these hotspots, optogenetic manipulations fail to increase 'liking' reactions, and sometimes even oppositely suppress affective reactions. In some cases, such in central amygdala, maladaptive 'wanting' can be generated for natural and drug rewards that is never matched in changes in 'liking'. The neural mechanisms underlying these different motivational and hedonic processes provide important insights onto hedonic and motivational dysfunctions that may contribute to various affective and other psychological disorders.
