1 day ago · Researchers also noted that the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a dopamine-producing region in the brainstem, acted as a central hub within the DAAN. It exhibits extensive connectivity with the cortical default mode network (DMN), a brain network involved in self-awareness and higher cognitive functions.
May 21, 2024 · Ventral tegmental area dopamine projections to the hippocampus trigger long-term potentiation and contextual learning. Fares J. P. Sayegh, Lionel Mouledous, Catherine Macri,...
May 29, 2024 · Abstract. Comprehensive understanding of the neural circuits involving the ventral tegmental area is essential for elucidating the anatomo-functional mechanisms governing human behaviour as well as the therapeutic and adverse effects of deep brain stimulation for neuropsychiatric diseases.
6 days ago · The ventral tegmental area (VTA) and parabrachial nucleus (PBN) play pivotal roles in the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia. However, whether dopaminergic (DA) projections from the VTA to the PBN play a role in mediating the effects of general anesthesia is unclear.
5 days ago · Ventral tegmental area: anatomy, functions and disorders. May 31, 2024. The ventral tegmental area is a region of the mesencephalon , also known as the middle brain, which is very important because of its involvement in the reinforcement circuit, responsible for the sensations of pleasure and motivated behavior.
May 16, 2024 · The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is a major source of serotonergic projections to brain-wide targets, including the frontal cortex, the basal ganglia, the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and other...
May 11, 2024 · The ventral subiculum (vSUB) is the main ventral hippocampal (vHPC) output region and plays a critical role in stress integration [ 1 ], anxiety-like behaviors [ 2, 3 ], and spatial...
