DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2021.113292
Abstract: The role of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine in reward, cue processing, and interval timing is well characterized. Using a combinatorial viral approach to target activating DREADDs (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs, hM3D)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsac306
Abstract: STUDY OBJECTIVES Because in various brain regions the activity of GABA neurons is largely unknown, we measured in-vivo changes in calcium fluorescence in GABA neurons in the zona incerta (ZI) and the ventral lateral periaqueductal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0189-20.2020
Abstract: Abstract Previous reports indicate that nicotine reward is mediated through α4β2*, α6β2*, and α4α6β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs; * indicates that additional nAChR subunits may be present). Little is known about α4α6β2* nAChR involvement in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2018.00131
Abstract: The neural mechanisms underlying alcohol dependence are not well-understood. GABAergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are a relevant target for ethanol. They are inhibited by ethanol at physiologically-relevant levels in vivo and display… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00594
Abstract: Histamine/gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons of posterior hypothalamus send wide projections to many brain areas and participate in stabilizing the wake state. Recent research has suggested that GABA released from the histamine/GABA neurons acts on extrasynaptic… read more here.
