Endocannabinoid-Mediated Synaptic Plasticity in the Ventral Tegmental Area and Hippocampus
Synaptic plasticity is the process whereby connections between neurons can be altered in an experience dependent manner. For example, drugs of abuse alter plasticity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain. A large amount of research has been applied to uncovering the mechanism whereby s...
