The pathway between the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the Nucleus Accumbens is critical for the addiction process because lesions to this pathway eliminate addiction. It is a part of the brain.
<h3>What is the nucleus accumbens?</h3>
The nucleus accumbens refers to a part of the forebrain located in the hypothalamus.
The nucleus accumbens is an interface between motivation (i.e., stimuli) and the corresponding action (response).
The nucleus accumbens is fundamental in different responses such as, for example, rewards, stressful situations, drug behavior, etc.

Dependent reaction is the factor that is observed and measured
Creatinine is a by-product of muscular metabolism. In the natural and normal scheme of things, this substance or waste product can be eliminated from the body. A high-serum creatinine level may cause kidney damage. In relation to the above question as to how high can creatinine levels go before death, it must be noted that kidneys have strong compensatory ability and by that as long as its still 50 percent functional, creatinine level won't be that high. Which leads us to a conclusion that, the lesser the kidney function level is, the higher the creatinine level.
On the other hand for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the most stable blood constituent following death as it reaches antemortem (before death) levels and even after moderate decomposition.
Therefore, as long as the kidneys are functional, regardless of other factors such as the patient's condition/ diagnosis, these blood constituents are nearly normal.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
To test if the selenium from the mine has an effect on the fish living in the lake which i assume is close to the mine, testing the tissue of the fish from that lake and comparing it to the selenium levels of the fish from a nearby lake would be a testable hypothesis because there is a comparable aspect and there should be a difference in the numbers between the fish from the two lakes because of their distance to the mine.
I hope this answer helps.
