Activation of the dopaminergic pathway from VTA to the medial olfactory tubercle generates odor-preference and reward

Activation of the dopaminergic pathway from VTA to the medial olfactory tubercle generates odor-preference and reward

Odor-preferences are usually influenced by life experiences. However, the neural circuit mechanisms remain unclear. The medial olfactory tubercle (mOT) is involved in both reward and olfaction, whereas the ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons are considered to be engaged in re...
