   What is the function of the ventral tegmental area?

   • Sci Rep. 2015; 5: 16176. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is involved in adaptive reward and motivation processing and is composed of dopamine (DA) and GABA neurons. Defining the elements regulating activity and synaptic plasticity of these cells is critical to understanding mechanisms of reward and addiction.

   Do dopamine neurons control reward and aversion in the ventral tegmental area?

   • Lammel, S. et al. Input-specific control of reward and aversion in the ventral tegmental area. Nature 491, 212–217 (2012). This article demonstrated that subsets of dopamine neurons with different projection targets receive inputs from two distinct brain areas and that these inputs are differentially involved in reward or aversion.

   What are long-range projections of ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons?

   • Long-range projections of ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons and their functions. VTA glutamate neurons project to the ventral pallidum, the nucleus accumbens, the prefrontal cortex, the lateral habenula and the dorsal hippocampus. The shapes and locations can only represent the general structure and location.

   Aversive events rapidly and potently excite certain dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), promoting phasic increases in the medial prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. This is in apparent contradiction to a wealth of literature demonstrating that most VTA dopamine neurons are strongly activated by reward and reward ...

   May 20, 2022 · The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is well known for regulating reward consumption, learning, memory, and addiction behaviors through mediating dopamine (DA) release in downstream regions. Other than DA neurons, the VTA is known to be heterogeneous and contains other types of neurons, including glutamate neurons.
