The researchers must target an area called the nucleus accumbens (NAc).

What are the nucleus accumbens?

  • It's a part of the brain.
  • It is responsible for the drastic increase in dopamine.
  • It can provoke feelings of desire and euphoria.

When an individual practices an activity that stimulates the nucleus accumbens, the sensations that these regions provoke make the individual have the need to repeat the activity, which ends up creating addiction.

Therefore, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is the brain area that scientists must target.
