SUMMARY:Heterogeneous VTA cell types reinforce behaviors through diverse mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Tom Hnasko\, PhD\nDepartment of Neurosciences\nUniversity of California\, San Diego\nHybrid Event\nThis seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom and In-Person.\nIn-Person:\nHerklotz Conference Room\nCenter for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory\n300 Qureshey Research Lab\n\nZoom: https://neurobiology.uci.edu/event/ican-seminar-series-dr-tom-hnasko/ \nAbstract:\nThe ventral tegmental area (VTA) is famous for its dopamine neurons. However\, non-dopamine neurons are abundant in VTA\, including GABA neurons\, glutamate neurons\, and neurons that release more than one of these recycling neurotransmitters. This seminar will focus on several recent non-canonical findings on how VTA cell types are regulated by afferents\, connected to distal targets\, and impact behavioral reinforcement. Including examples of how co-release of neurotransmitters from VTA neurons can drive divergent physiological and behavioral responses. The work suggests that VTA neurons reinforce behaviors by dopamine as well as by dopamine-independent mechanisms.\nLEARN MORE
