tegmental

These are also known as the tegmental nuclei.

The central tegmental tract, a structure in the midbrain and pons.

Among these areas is the ventral tegmental area.

Glutamatergic afferents of the ventral tegmental area in the rat.

Studies with mice indicate that exposure to cocaine for two weeks can cause long-term changes in the ventral tegmental area.

Palatal myoclonus may be observed due to disruption of the central tegmental tract.

Sexual motivation: Involvement of endogenous opioids in the ventral tegmental area.

Second bundle of fibers continues ipsilaterally through the medial tegmental field toward inferior olive.

Glutamate has also been suggested to play an important role in determining the firing patterns of the tegmental cholinergic neurons.

The projection from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens has been primarily studied and associated with reward.

Romance, or the idea of romance, is created by the ventral tegmental area, and the nucleus accumbens.

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a part of the midbrain.

The noradrenergic neurons originate both in the locus coeruleus and the lateral tegmental field.

Ethanol's reinforcing effects have been associated with the ventral tegmental area and it's projections to the nucleus accumbens.

The ventral tegmental area revisited: is there an electrophysiological marker for dopaminergic neurons ?

However, cocaine is more active in the dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area than the substantia nigra.

The peptide is found in several areas, among them the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain.

The lateral septum is a relay center for connections from the CA3 of the hippocampus to the ventral tegmental area.

Cholinergic agents are rewarding when injected into the ventral tegmental area (VTA).

Intracranial injections of muscimol into the ventral tegmental area produces a conditioned place preference .

Strongly innervated by dopaminergic fibers from the ventral tegmental area (VTA).

Then the nucleus accumbus and ventral tegmental area activated to release dopamine, a chemical that triggers the brain's sense of reward.

The calbindin theory would explain the high cytotoxicity of Parkinson's in the substantia nigra compared to the ventral tegmental area.

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) contains the largest group of dopamine neurons in the human brain.

Other systems that may be involved in pattern generation and regulation are the pontine respiratory group, the lateral tegmental field and the deep cerebellar nuclei.
