Nicotinic Cholinergic Receptors in VTA Glutamate Neurons Modulate Excitatory Transmission

Summary: Ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons are important components of reward circuitry, but whether they are subject to cholinergic modulation is unknown. To study this, we used molecular, physiological, and photostimulation techniques to examine nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nACh...
