Modulation of Functional Connectivity Between Dopamine Neurons of the Rat Ventral Tegmental Area in vitro

Modulation of Functional Connectivity Between Dopamine Neurons of the Rat Ventral Tegmental Area in vitro

Micro Electrode Arrays were used to simultaneously record spontaneous extracellular action potentials from 10 to 30 dopamine neurons in acute brain slices from the lateral Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) of the rat. The spike train of an individual neuron was used to characterize the firing pattern: fi...
