“…32 Moreover, the NAc is a well-validated DBS target with a good safety profile that has been exploited for treatment of such processes such as treatment-refractory depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and alcoholism. 27,58,70 Given the link between obesity and the mesolimbic reward circuitry, further studies targeting the NAc with DBS, specifically for treatment-refractory obesity, should be considered promising.…”

“…Au sein d'une cohorte de trois patients, une diminution de la consommation d'alcool a pu être observée chez 1 patient, et une abstinence complète persistait même après 15 mois chez 2 patients [16]. Mais, ces études récentes ont été réalisées sur des échantillons restreints de patients, sans que les divers aspects de leur motivation soient analysés, ce qui limite donc les conclusions quant à l'efficacité du traitement.…”

“…The authors also examined the effects of chronic DBS of the NAc in diet-induced obese mice, and found that NAc stimulation led to decreased caloric intake, sustained weight loss, and improvements in features of Type 2 diabetes [82]. The NAc is a wellvalidated DBS target, and the safety and efficacy of this anatomic target in humans have already been demonstrated for treating disease processes, such as treatment-refractory depression, OCD, and alcoholism [83][84][85]. Thus, given the role of the NAc in food-seeking behavior, the NAc is a suitable target for a clinical trial for DBS treatment of refractory obesity.…”
