Anatomical Templates of the Midbrain Ventral Tegmental Area and Substantia Nigra for Asian Populations

Increasing evidence shows that the midbrain dopaminergic system is involved in various functions. However, details of the role of the midbrain dopaminergic system in these functions are still to be determined in humans. Considering that the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra (SN) in t...
