The ventral pallidum (VP) is a structure within the basal ganglia of the brain. It is an output nucleus whose fibres project to thalamic nuclei, such as the ventral anterior nucleus, the ventral lateral nucleus, and the medial dorsal nucleus.
The VP is a core component of the reward system which forms part of the limbic loop of the basal ganglia,[1] a pathway involved in the regulation of motivational salience, behavior, and emotions. It is involved in addiction.
The VP contains one of the brain's pleasure centers, which mediates the subjective perception of pleasure that results from "consuming" certain rewarding stimuli (e.g., palatable food).[1]
