More Information
Summary:In the last several decades, it has become increasingly apparent that diverse DA neuron populations exist within and across these three pathways which differ in their molecular signatures, developmental origins, physiological characteristics, anatomical connections, and functional roles during behavior. [...]the article from Derdeyn et al. illustrates the diversity of synaptic input to VTA neurons and provides an in-depth analysis of rabies-based circuit mapping studies of the VTA. [...]the role of DA neuron diversity in neurological diseases is the Research Topic of two excellent articles.
