An atlas of transcriptionally defined cell populations in the rat ventral tegmental area

2021-06-02

Abstract excerpt

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a complex brain region that is essential for reward function but is also implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases including substance abuse. While decades of research on VTA function have focused on the role of dopaminergic neurons, recent evidence has identified critical roles for VTA GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in reward processes as well. Interestingly, molecular chara...
