  5. 4. Characterization of the synaptic connectivity patterns of genetically defined neuron types in circuits that regulate dopamine and serotonin

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Författare :Alexandros Ikaros Pavlopoulos; [2014]
    Nyckelord :neuroscience; lateral habenula; optogenetics; neuronal populations; neurons; brain; dopamine; serotonin; dual viral system; retrograde viral tracing; globus pallidus; rabies virus; reward; basal ganglia;

    Sammanfattning : The Lateral Habenula (LHb) have been implicated in both reward-seeking behavior and in depressive disorders due to its modulatory effects on dopamine rich areas. Excitatory projections from LHb target GABAergic interneurons of both ventral tegmental area (VTA) and rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) and consequently provide strong inhibition on VTA‟s dopaminergic neurons.
