Nicotine Increases Spontaneous Glutamate Release in the Rostromedial Tegmental Nucleus

The rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) is a bilateral structure localized in the brainstem and comprise of mainly GABAergic neurons. One of the main functions of the RMTg is to regulate the activity of dopamine neurons of the mesoaccumbens pathway. Therefore, the RMTg has been proposed as a modul...
