Multiple Personalities in the Ventral Tegmental Area
A small number of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons engage in numerous and apparently contradictory functions--how can this be? A clue is provided by Lammel and colleagues in this issue of Neuron: some VTA dopamine neurons display synaptic plasticity in response to cocaine, and others in response to pain, and these populations are distinguished by their axonal projections and Ih.
متن کاملMDMA Abuse in Relation to MicroRNA Variation in Human Brain Ventral Tegmental Area and Nucleus Accumbens
Aim 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most widespread illegal drugs, used particularly by young people in the 15-34 age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously synthesized, non-coding and small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate their target genes’ expression by inhibiting protein translation or degradation. miRNAs are increasingly implicated in drug-related...
متن کاملVentral Tegmental Area Microinjected-SKF38393 Increases Regular Chow Intake in 18 Hours Food Deprived Rats
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons play an important role in reward mechanisms of food intake, and VTA dopamine receptors exist on the terminal of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and regulate GABA and glutamate release. To our knowledge, there is no evidence to show that VTA D1 dopamine receptors play a role in regular chow intake. In this paper, the effect of SKF38393, a D1 rece...
متن کاملEvaluation of GABA Receptors of Ventral Tegmental Area in Cardiovascular Responses in Rat
Background: The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is well known for its role in cardiovascular control. It is demonstrated that about 20-30% of the VTA neurons are GABAergic though their role in cardiovascular control is not yet understood. This study is carried out to find the effects of GABA A and GABA B receptors on cardiovascular response of the VTA. Methods: Experiments were performed on uretha...
