  2. The ventral tegmental area ( VTA) ( tegmentum is Latin for covering ), also known as the ventral tegmental area of Tsai, [1] or simply ventral tegmentum, is a group of neurons located close to the midline on the floor of the midbrain. The VTA is the origin of the dopaminergic cell bodies of the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system and other ...

  3. Jan 5, 2017 · Nature Reviews Neuroscience - Neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are highly heterogeneous and project to a range of different brain regions. Morales and Margolis summarize recent...

  4. 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 ).

  5. 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. The VTA is considered an integral part of a network of structures, together known ...

  7. Jan 1, 2018 · In fact, DBS of other subcortical target regions (vc/vs = ventral capsule ventral striatum; cg25 = Brodman's area 25) for major depression has been shown to partly exert remote influence on prefrontal regions (Riva-Posse et al., 2017; Riva-Posse et al., 2014; Noecker et al., 2018) and their adjacent white matter (WM) tracts, especially the ...

  8. 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.
