Sex is a primary reward and it is the basis of pair-bond formation in voles. The striatum is part of the neuronal circuitry underlying a remarkable pair-bond formation in which both partners remain monogamous.

in human nervous system: The spinal cord. Associated with local regions of the spinal cord and imposing on it an external segmentation are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, each of which receives and furnishes one dorsal and one ventral root.
