IS Bharati, JL Goodson - Neuroscience, 2006 - Elsevier
Dopamine (DA) is produced in numerous brain areas and influences a wide variety of social
behaviors, but very few data are available to establish the socially-relevant response …

Blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the ventral tegmental area prevents acquisition of food-rewarded operant responding in rats

R Sharf, J McKelvey, R Ranaldi - Psychopharmacology, 2006 - Springer
Rationale We recently found that muscarinic receptor (mAChR) stimulation in the ventral
tegmental area (VTA) is involved in the acquisition of a feeding task. Objective To investigate …

D Domenger, RKW Schwarting - Behavioural brain research, 2006 - Elsevier
Sequential behaviour, probably reflecting procedural learning, has intensively been
investigated in humans and monkeys using so-called serial reaction time tasks (SRTT) …

In the ventral tegmental area, G-proteins mediate progesterone's actions at dopamine type 1 receptors for lordosis of rats and hamsters

SM Petralia, CA Frye - Psychopharmacology, 2006 - Springer
Rationale Previous reports indicate that the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and/or
progesterone (P) can modulate the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, food, and sexual …
