A glutamatergic reward input from the dorsal raphe to ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons
2014
Glutamatergic neurons project from the dorsal raphe to the ventral tegmental area, two brain areas strongly associated with addictive behaviour, however the functional significance of this connection remains unclear. Qi et al. show that optogenetic activation of this pathway conveys reward in mice.
