Neuronal heterogeneity in the ventral tegmental area: Distinct contributions to reward circuitry and motivated behavior by N. Dalton Fitzgerald, Jeremy J. Day

“…Distinct subtypes of DA neurons can be identified across the VTA and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) by characteristics that include gene expression patterns (molecular identity), connectivity motifs (network identity), and patterns of task-linked activity and neurotransmitter release (computational identity). This review aims to synthesize current knowledge of diverse neuronal populations in the VTA, including distinct subtypes of DA, glutamate (GLUT), and GABAergic neurons and combinatorial cells alongside well-characterized markers of these neuronal subclasses. …”
