Importantly, the same neural circuits that are involved in developing addictive behaviors and that are responsive to dopamine, namely, the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, will also be responsible for the extinction and reconsolidation of drug-associated memories (Jentsch and Taylor, 1999; Taylor et al
