  2. 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.

  4. Jul 8, 2021 · The Ventral Tegmental Area, also known as the VTA, is a small cluster of neurons in our midbrain right in the bottom center. The VTA plays a vital role in the regulation of our body’s reward system. It comprises a bunch of neurons positioned in the middle of the brain on the midbrain’s floor.

  5. The dopaminergic pathway mostly involved in reward is the so-called mesolimbic system, which is formed by projections of midbrain dopamine neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the striatum, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and many other structures of the limbic system.
