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 ...

Anatomy and Function of Ventral Tegmental Area Glutamate Neurons. 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.
Jun 15, 2020 · The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is important for reward processing and motivation. The anatomic organization of neurotransmitter-specific inputs to the VTA remains poorly resolved. In the...
