Goal-Oriented Behaviour: The Ventral Tegmental Area in Motivated Movements
2019
Summary The ventral tegmental area is a midbrain region known for the involvement of its dopaminergic neurons in encoding reward-related features, value and motivational states. New research suggests a role for inhibitory neurons of the ventral tegmental area in the orchestration of head movements, which might be instrumental in guiding animals towards spatial targets during motivated behaviour.
