Brain Reward System: Schematic Representation of Dopaminergic Projections that make up the Brain Reward System: The brain’s reward system is organized around dopaminergic neurons whose cell bodies are primarily located in the ventral tegmental area, or VTA. These neurons send projections to multiple brain regions, forming pathways that help the brain detect, evaluate, and pursue rewarding experiences. One major route is the mesolimbic pathway, which projects from the VTA to the ventral striatum,

There are 2 main brain dopamine systems in the reward pathway that relate to happiness: The dopamine reward center in the front half of the nucleus accumbens of the basal ganglia (involved with seeking pleasure and addiction). Think of the dopamine reward system involved with wanting and desire. The dopamine control center that enhances the activity of the prefrontal cortex/orbitofrontal cortex and helps you think before you act and stop unhelpful behaviors.
