   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 ...

   May 20, 2022 · Abstract. 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 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. It is known for containing the cell bodies of ...

   Location of ventral tegmental area indicated by blue dot. 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.

   Is the ventral tegmental area heterogeneous?

   • Front. Neural Circuits, 20 May 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.

   Are ventral tegmental area neurons dopamine neurons?

   • Although it is evident that many ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons are dopamine neurons according to this definition, it has recently become clear that, at the experimental level, it is more difficult to unequivocally say that an individual VTA neuron uses dopamine as a neurotransmitter than previously thought.
