Selective Ablation of GABA Neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area Increases Spontaneous Locomotor Activity.

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) provide innervation to cortical and subcortical regions of the brain. To solidify the importance of these VTA GABA neurons in behavioral function, we employed the neurotoxin dermorphin-saporin (DS) to selectively lesion VTA GABA...
