Core Tip	Nucleus accumbens (NA), a major pleasure center of the human brain, is a limbic-motor interface involved in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is also a deep brain stimulation target for selected patients. Purpose of this paper is to comment on the article entitled “Stereotactic anatomy of the human nucleus accumbens: from applied mathematics to microsurgical accuracy” which was recently published in “Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy”. Its most important finding was standard area M (Mavridis’ area), which is the most reliable stereotactically standard area of the human NA, regardless of side or gender, useful for highly accurate stereotactic NA targeting.
