Hi~ In the followng sentence, what do you think the word "its" refer to?
The nucleus accumbens OR brain ?
Thank you~
The nucleus accumbens came to the forefront in brain research
related to its role in addiction.
'brain' is used only as a modifier (of 'research'), so it's not that. its role = the role of the nucleus accumbens CJ
