Aversion or Salience Signaling by Ventral Tegmental Area Glutamate Neurons
Summary: Ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons play roles in reward and aversion. The VTA has, in addition to dopamine neurons, glutamatergic neurons expressing VGluT2. Here, by determining the firing patterns of VTA-VGluT2 neurons expressing channelrhodopsin 2, we identified a major subpopulation of...
