Thus, the ventral tegmental area is reciprocally connected with a wide range of structures throughout the brain suggesting that it has a role in the control of function in the phylogenetically newer and highly developed neocortex, as well as that of the phylogenetically older limbic areas.
May 20, 2022 · The ventral tegmental area (VTA) located in the midbrain controls diverse behavioral repertoire, including reward processing, aversion, stress modulation, drug addiction, learning, and memory (Haber and Fudge, 1997; Ikemoto, 2007; Arias-Carrion et al., 2010; Polter and Kauer, 2014). The VTA functional diversity is partly reflected by its ...

The ventral tegmental area, or VTA, is in the midbrain, situated adjacent to the substantia nigra. Although it contains several different types of neurons, it is primarily characterized by its dopaminergic neurons, which project from the VTA throughout the brain.
May 1, 2019 · The ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are assumed to play a key role in dopamine-related functions such as reward-related behaviour, motivation, addiction and motor functioning. Although dopamine-producing midbrain structures are bordering, they show significant d …
