Role of the ventral tegmental area in general anesthesia
European Journal of PharmacologyThe ventral tegmental area (VTA), located in the midbrain, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of many important behaviors, such as reward, addiction, aversion, memory, learning, and sleep-wakefulness cycles. The majority of VTA neurons are dopaminergic neurons, although there is a significant proportion of GABAergic neurons and few glutamatergic ...

Substance K and substance P in the ventral tegmental area
Neuroscience Letters, 1985A comparison was made between substance P (SP) and substance K (SK) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) (A10 dopamine cell group) of the rat. Approximately equal densities of SP and SK-immunoreactive neuronal fibers were observed. However, while previous reports demonstrate negligible density of autoradiographically defined SP receptors in the VTA, we ...

Electrophysiological studies of neurons in the ventral tegmental area of tsai
Brain Research, 1980Extracellular recordings were obtained from single neurons in the ventral tegmental area of rats anesthetized with urethane. It was found that the area appeared to contain two groups of neurons with distinctly different spike durations, firing rates and firing patterns. One group (group A) had properties similar to those of nigral dopaminergic neurons:

Ventral tegmental area: cellular heterogeneity, connectivity and behaviour
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2017Dopamine-releasing neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) have central roles in reward-related and goal-directed behaviours. VTA dopamine-releasing neurons are heterogeneous in their afferent and efferent connectivity and, in some cases, release GABA or glutamate in addition to dopamine.

Diversity in the lateral hypothalamic input to the ventral tegmental area
Neuropharmacology, 2019The obesity epidemic is one of the biggest health challenges globally and rates have tripled since 1975. Overeating is the largest determinant of obesity, yet little is understood of the neural mechanisms underlying why individuals consume food regardless of satiety.

Neurotransmitter regulation of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area
Brain Research Reviews, 1993Over the last 10 years there has been important progress towards understanding how neurotransmitters regulate dopaminergic output. Reasonable estimates can be made of the synaptic arrangement of afferents to dopamine and non-dopamine cells in the ventral tegmental area (VTA).
