Synaptic dysfunction of Aldh1a1 neurons in the ventral tegmental area causes impulsive behaviors

Abstract Background Aldh1a1 neurons are a subtype of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitory neurons that use Aldh1a1 rather than glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) as an enzyme for synthesizing GABA transmitters. However, the behaviors and circuits of this newly identified subtype of inhibitory intern...
