Increased sucrose consumption in mice gene-targeted for Vmat2 selectively in NeuroD6-positive neurons of the ventral tegmental area

Increased sucrose consumption in mice gene-targeted for Vmat2 selectively in NeuroD6-positive neurons of the ventral tegmental area

Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons are implicated in reward processing, motivation, reward prediction error, and in substance use disorder. Recent studies have identified distinct neuronal subpopulations within the VTA that can be clustered based on their molecular identity, neurotra...
