Moderate Changes in CO2 Modulate the Firing of Neurons in the VTA and Substantia Nigra

Summary: The substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) are vital for the control of movement, goal-directed behavior, and encoding reward. Here we show that the firing of specific neuronal subtypes in these nuclei can be modulated by physiological changes in the partial pressure of carb...
