Organization of ventral tegmental area projections to the ventral tegmental area-nigral complex in the rat
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a nodal link in reward circuitry. Based on its striatal output, it has been subdivided in a caudomedial part which targets the ventromedial striatum, and a lateral part which targets the ...
Lateral septum stimulation disinhibits dopaminergic neurons in the antero-ventral region of the ventral tegmental area: Role of GABA-A alpha 1 receptors
(2018)
The mechanisms commanding the activity of dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the location of these neurons are relevant for the coding and expression of motivated behavior associated to reward-related ...
Excitatory and inhibitory innervation of In-vivo recorded and labeled individual dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area
(2015)
Dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are involved in several
functions such as behavioural reinforcement and motivation. The activity of VTA
dopaminergic neurons is controlled by intrinsic membrane ...
The activation of metabotropic glutamate 5 receptors in the rat ventral tegmental area increases dopamine extracellular levels
(2017)
The mesocorticolimbic circuit projects to the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens, among others, and it originates in the dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The VTA receives ...
Evidence of VTA and LC control of protein synthesis required for the behavioral tagging process
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Several works have shown that the formation of different long-term memories relies on a behavioral tagging process. In other words, to establish a lasting memory, at least two parallel processes must occur: the setting of ...
