Comparison of somatodendritic and axon terminal dopamine release in the ventral tegmental area and the nucleus accumbens

, 1996
Fast cyclic voltammetry at a carbon fibre microelectrode was used to measure dopamine release following electrical or chemical stimulation in rat brain slices incorporating either the ventral tegmental area or the core region of the nucleus accumbens ...

Defining a role for the peduncolopontine tegmental nucleus in striatal outflow [PDF]

, 2012
The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) lies within the pontomesencephalon and contains cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurones. It has extensive afferent and efferent connections throughout the brain.

Astroglial MicroRNA-219-5p in the Ventral Tegmental Area Regulates Nociception in Rats

, 2017
Background The authors previously reported that noncoding microRNA miR-219-5p is down-regulated in the spinal cord in a nociceptive state.

Decreased functional connectivity between ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens in Internet gaming disorder: evidence from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging

, 2015
Background: Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has become an increasing mental health problem worldwide. Decreased resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) between the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) has been found in ...

Anabolic androgenic steroids increase beta-endorphin levels in the ventral tegmental area in the male rat brain

, 1997
The levels of beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe (MEAP) immunoreactivity in various brain regions (including amygdala, cortex, hippocampus, hypothalmus, nucleus accumbens, pituitary and ventral tegmental area) were studied in male rats subjected ...
