Mechanisms for multiple activity modes of VTA dopamine neurons

Mechanisms for multiple activity modes of VTA dopamine neurons

Midbrain ventral segmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons send numerous projections to cortical and sub-cortical areas, and diffusely release dopamine (DA) to their targets. DA neurons display a range of activity modes that vary in frequency and degree of burst firing. Importantly, DA neuronal bur...
