Single-nucleus RNA sequencing identifies transcriptomic signatures of alcohol use disorder in the human ventral tegmental area

2026-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with altered gene expression across diverse cell types in reward-related brain regions, including the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which is rich in dopaminergic neurons. The VTA plays a central role in reward processing, learning, and memory; however, cell type-specific gene expression changes within the VTA remain uncharacterized. <...
