The alterations in the PKA signalling in the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra.
, 2015 The acute effects of three chemicals (aripiprazole, bifeprunox and haloperidol) on the levels of three PKA subunits (PKA-Cα, -Cβ, and-RII), phospho-PKA, TH and phospho-PH in the ventral tegmental area (A) and substantia nigra (B).

Early life stress alters transcriptomic patterning across reward circuitry in male and female mice
Nature Communications, 2019 Early life stress alters behavioural response to adult stress in female mice. Here authors transcriptionally profile three brain regions involved in reward (ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, and prefrontal cortex) in both male and female adult ...

Stimulation of the human ventral tegmental area increases strategic betting [PDF]
Learning is a fundamental aspect of human behaviour and is essential for adapting to new environments and situations. The ventral tegmental area is a critical brain area containing neurons that release dopamine to signal reward, drive learning, and bias ...

Ventral midbrain stimulation induces perceptual learning and cortical plasticity in primates
Nature Communications, 2019 Practice can improve the perception of stimuli used to achieve a task (perceptual learning). Here, the authors show in monkeys that perceptual learning can be produced even for irrelevant stimuli if the stimuli are paired with stimulation of a ...

Fos-like immunoreactivity in forebrain regions following self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area [PDF]
, 1995 This research aims to visualize neurons activated by both the lateral hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area in order to delimit the search for the first-stage substrate responsible for the rewarding effects of medial forebrain bundle stimulation.--Cf ...

Food Addiction and Its Neural Circuitry Regulation Mechanism
Shengwu huaxue yu shengwu wuli jinzhanFood addiction refers to the individual dependence on certain specific foods (high-calorie foods) to the extent that it becomes difficult to control and manifests a series of addictive-like behavioral changes. Food addiction is an important factor in the

, 1985 Neurotensin-producing perikarya and fibers have been identified in the ventral tegmental area of the rat, and recent microinjection studies indicate that neurotensin may function in the ventral tegmental area to regulate body temperature.
