Abstract: Despite intensive research efforts, biologists still do not have a clear picture of the brain circuitry that controls behavioural arousal. However, new research has identified a novel septo-hypothalamic circuit that functions to promote wakefulness. read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2022.867053
Abstract: The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is well known for regulating reward consumption, learning, memory, and addiction behaviors through mediating dopamine (DA) release in downstream regions. Other than DA neurons, the VTA is known to be… read more here.
