The ventral tegmental area contains, among others, cells that produce dopamine. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert!
Further investigation pinpointed a specific brain circuit: GLP-1-producing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) that project to the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a key brain region ...
Hippocampal replay, which is implicated in memory formation and planning, exhibits a reward-dependent spatial specificity that in novel environments requires dopamine signaling.
