Motivation to pursue food reward after manipulating the CeA-VTA-ACC/OFC pathways.
(A) The schematic of the experiment. Rats were tested in the Progressive Ratio test to assess their motivation for obtaining food reward (sucrose pellet).

Spiraling Connectivity of NAc-VTA Circuitry [PDF]
How do nucleus accumbens (NAc) subdivisions shape information flow into distinct ventral tegmental area (VTA) subcircuits? Yang et al. (2018) provide insightful answers to this question by expanding our knowledge about the circuit architecture and function of reciprocal connectivity between NAc and VTA.

Activation of the dopaminergic VTA-ACC and VTA-OFC projections increases social contact initiation.
(A) The representative images of the VTA inputs into the ACC (left) and OFC (right) in Th-Cre rats labeled with AAV-DIO-mCherry. The white lines mark the areas of the ACC and OFC.

Snca and Bdnf gene expression in the VTA and raphe nuclei of midbrain in chronically victorious and defeated male mice [PDF]
The study aimed to analyze the mRNA levels of Snca and Bdnf genes in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and raphe nuclei of the midbrain in male mice that had each won or defeated 20 encounters in daily agonistic interactions.

Arousal State-Dependent Alterations in VTA-GABAergic Neuronal Activity. [PDF]
Decades of research have implicated the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in motivation, learning and reward processing. We and others recently demonstrated that it also serves as an important node in sleep/wake regulation.

Social behaviours characterize cooperative, mutualistic, aggressive or parental interactions that occur among conspecifics. Although the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) has been identified as a key substrate for social behaviours, the input and output ...

Background The ventral tegmental area (VTA) contains heterogeneous cell populations. The dopaminergic neurons in VTA play a central role in reward and cognition, while CamKIIα-positive neurons, composed mainly of glutamatergic and some dopaminergic ...

Acetaldehyde Increases Dopaminergic Neuronal Activity in the VTA [PDF]
Acetaldehyde is the first and principal metabolite of ethanol administered systemically. To its rise in blood, after administration of disulfiram, is ascribed the aversive reaction that should discourage alcoholics from drinking. In the present study, we sought to determine the effect of acetaldehyde on the electrophysiological properties of dopamine ...
