Characterization of the synaptic connectivity patterns of genetically defined neuron types in circuits that regulate dopamine and serotonin

The Lateral Habenula (LHb) have been implicated in both reward-seeking behavior and in depressive disorders due to its modulatory effects on dopamine rich areas. Excitatory projections from LHb target GABAergic interneurons of both ventral tegmental area (VTA) and rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMT...
