Temporary Inactivation of Ventral Tegmental Area Neurons With Either Muscimol or Baclofen Reversibly Disrupts Maternal Behavior in Rats Through Different Underlying Mechanisms.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of inactivation of ventral tegmental area (VTA) projection neurons, while sparing fibers of passage, on maternal behavior in rats. Because VTA neurons contain GABA-A and GABA-B receptors, the effects of muscimol or baclofen were studied. Although...
