And then there's three brain regions like with craving and addiction, particularly a particular little factory called the nucleus accumbens.

大脑区域中有三个与渴求和成瘾性有关，特别是一个名为 " 伏隔核 " 的小工厂。

And I do think that it is an addiction, because we found activity in a particular brain region, it's called the nucleus accumbens.

我确实认为这是一种成瘾，因为我们在一个特定的大脑区域发现了活动，它被称为伏隔核。

Likewise, puberty organizes and restructures the nucleus accumbens involved in reward and sensation-seeking.

同样，青春期组织和重组参与奖励和寻求感觉的伏隔核。

Like all addictive drugs, it prompts a squirt of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens which gives users a surge of pleasure.

和所有成瘾性药物一样，酒精可以提升伏隔核中的多巴胺含量，使饮用者产生愉悦感。

Several studies have found that as hormone levels increase through puberty, so does the response of the nucleus accumbens.

几项研究发现，随着青春期激素水平的增加，伏隔核的反应也会增加。

Alcohol also stimulates a small group of neurons that extends from the midbrain to the nucleus accumbens, a region important for motivation.

酒精也会对一小部分神经细胞有激活效果，并从中脑持续到伏隔核区域，而伏隔核在奖赏和快乐等感官体验中具有重要作用。

And indeed, it's this part of the brain, the core of the nucleus accumbens, that is becoming active as you're measuring your gains and losses.

当你在计算得失时，大脑中的这部分——伏隔核的核心，变得活跃起来。当你要因为得到或失去而去冒巨大的风险时，它也会变得活跃。

It triggers the release of the brain chemical dopamine in a region known as the nucleus accumbens, and as a result we feel euphoria.

它会触发称为伏隔核的区域中大脑化学物质多巴胺的释放， 因此我们会感到欣快。

Nicotine directly increases dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens, but it also increases glutamate levels which gets the ventral tegmentum neurons to release more dopamine onto the nucleus accumbens.

尼古丁可以直接提高伏隔核的多巴胺水平，但同时也提高谷氨酸盐水平，使腹侧被盖区神经元释放更多的多巴胺至伏隔核。

For example, increased dopamine in the mesolimbic system, a reward pathway composed of the ventral tegmentum and the nucleus accumbens causes pleasure, improved attention and mental processing, and working memory.

例如，人体的一个由腹侧被盖区和伏隔核组成的奖赏通路中脑边缘系统里多巴胺的增多，可以引起欣快感、注意力提高、思维变敏捷、记忆力增强等效应。

During these they measured, in real time, the amount of dopamine being released by the nucleus accumbens, a region of the brain in which dopamine is implicated in learning and addiction.

伏隔核是大脑中与学习和成瘾有关的区域，在实验过程中，研究人员对伏隔核释放的多巴胺含量进行了实时测量。

For example, increased concentrations of dopamine in the brain's reward pathway, which includes the nucleus accumbens, ventral tegmentum, and prefrontal cortex, produce intense feelings of euphoria, pleasure, and the emotional " high" associated with cocaine.

例如，包括伏隔核、腹侧被盖和前额叶皮层在内的大脑奖赏途径中多巴胺浓度的增加，在可卡因的帮助下，能够产生强烈的兴奋、快感，以及很“嗨”的感觉。
