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.

Jul 8, 2021 · The blue dot in the image above signifies the location of VTA in our brain. Structure: VTA is made up of a cluster of neurons situated in the lower central part of the human brain, primarily responsible for transmitting dopaminergic neurons to other parts of the brain, i.e. cortical and limbic areas.
