This review covers the intrinsic organization and afferent and efferent connections of the
midbrain dopaminergic complex, comprising the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area …

The midbrain dopaminergic neuronal groups A8, A9, A10, and A10dc occupy, respectively,
the retrorubral field (RRF), substantia nigra compacta (SNc), ventral tegmental area (VTA) …

Until recently, views on the organization and role of the mesotelencephalic dopaminergic
(DA) systems were mostly based on studies of rodents, and it was assumed that homology …

The mesocorticolimbic dopamine system is essential for cognitive and emotive brain
functions and is thus an important target in major brain diseases like schizophrenia, drug …

The organization of the main dopaminergic cell groups in the brain, located in the ventral
mesencephalic tegmentum, and the circuits in which they are inserted are reviewed here …

New dopaminergic terminal fields have been visualized in the rat cerebral neocortex, using
two morphological methods based on distinct properties of the dopaminergic system …

The basal ganglia are comprised of the striatum, the external and internal segment of the
globus pallidus (GPe and GPi, respectively), the subthalamic nucleus (STN), and the …

Previous studies in the rat have shown that the neocortical dopaminergic afferents,
originating in the mesencephalon, terminate in those areas of the forntal lobe which receive …

In the present paper the organization of central nervous system dopaminergic pathways is
concisely reviewed. Six dopaminergic systems are described: the midbrain efferent system …

Adrenergic agents modulate the activity of midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons.
However, the sources of noradrenergic and adrenergic inputs are not well characterized …
