The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a nodal link in reward circuitry. Based on its striatal output, it has been subdivided in a caudomedial part which targets the ventromedial striatum, and a lateral part which targets the ventrolateral striatum [Ikemoto S (2007) Dopamine reward circuitry: two projection systems from the ventral midbrain to the nucleus

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2021
AbstractBackgroundAlcohol excites neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the release of dopamine from these neurons is a key event in ethanol (EtOH)‐induced reward and reinforcement. Many mechanisms have been proposed to explain EtOH's actions on neurons of the VTA, but antagonists generally do not eliminate the EtOH‐induced excitation of VTA ...

Unilateral lesions of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) facilitated feeding induced by electrical stimulation of the homologous VTA tissue in the contralateral hemisphere. The lesions shifted the function relating latency to begin feeding to stimulation frequency to the left simultaneously causing a reduction of frequency threshold for feeding reaction.

GABAergic inhibition of neurons in the ventral tegmental area
Experientia, 1978Stimulation of the nucleus accumbens evokes a potent inhibition in neurons of the ventral tegmental area. GABA is likely to act as a transmitter in this descending inhibitory system.

Neurotensin self-injection in the ventral tegmental area
Brain Research, 1987Earlier work with the conditioned place-preference paradigm suggested that neurotensin (NT) acts as a behavioral reinforcer when microinjected into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain. We report here that animals will perform an operant task to obtain microinfusions of NT into the VTA.

The antero-posterior heterogeneity of the ventral tegmental area
Neuroscience, 2014The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a brain region processing salient sensory and emotional information, controlling motivated behaviors, natural or drug-related reward, reward-related learning, mood, and participating in their associated psychopathologies.
