Answer 1

1) The nucleus accumbens functions in the parietal lobe. Nucleus accumbens is found in the basal forebrain. It is separated into two compartments- the core and the shell. It is called the "reward circuit" of the brain as it increases the level of dopamine when we perform any function that is considered rewarding.

2) The ventral tegmentum area functions in the parietal lobe. It is situated in the midbrain and adjacent to the substantia nigra. It is one of the major dopaminergic areas of the brain.

3) The Prefrontal cortex functions in the frontal lobe. This region of the brain takes part in decision making, social behavior,etc. It contributes greatly to personality development.
