This page covers biological details of component Ventral Tegmental Area. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Ventral Tegmental Area (LMC.MM.VTA) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Modulatory Contol Area
- Role: relay
- Function: Respond to novel stimuli, unexpected rewards, and reward predictive sensory cues
