Core Tip	The human nucleus accumbens (NA), a major pleasure center of the brain, is a limbic-motor interface involved in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. It became recently a deep brain stimulation target for selected patients. Its exceptional clinical significance justifies its title as the “King of Neurosciences”. Purpose of this editorial is to review the few studies who explored the NA gross anatomy. The first anatomical study focused on this nucleus came from Neto et al. The most extensive study of the NA gross, imaging, stereotactic and neurosurgical anatomy came from the research of Mavridis et al.
