Intact-Brain Analyses Reveal Distinct Information Carried by SNc Dopamine Subcircuits (2015, background): “For example, a recent viral circuit tracing study showed that VTA and SNc DA neurons receive different proportions of inputs from key brain regions (Watabe-Uchida et al., 2012).”
Circuit Architecture of VTA Dopamine Neurons Revealed by Systematic Input–Output Mapping (2015, background): “Consistent with previous results (Watabe-Uchida et al., 2012), VTA-DA (Figures 1D–1O) and VTA-GABA (data not shown) neurons received direct synaptic inputs from diverse neuronal types in a wide range of brain regions.”
Reward and aversion in a heterogeneous midbrain dopamine system (2013, background): “Afferent control of dopamine neuron activity The VTA receives both excitatory and inhibitory inputs from a broad distribution of brain areas (Geisler et al., 2007; Sesack and Grace 2010; Watabe-Uchida et al., 2012).”
The Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism (2014, background): “For example, transsynaptic viral tracing in monkeys and electrical stimulation in rats (Watson et al., 2009) reveals a bidirectional loop joining the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with lateral crus II and vermal lobules VII and IX (Kelly and Strick, 2003) on the contralateral side.”
Neuronal Reward and Decision Signals: From Theories to Data. (2015, background): “Negative dopamine error responses may arise from GABAergic inputs from VTA, substantia nigra pars reticulata, or striatum (625).”
Reward signal in a recurrent circuit drives appetitive long-term memory formation (2015, neutral): “In contrast, there is no monosynaptic feedback to the dopamine neurons found in mammals, rather anatomical studies suggest such a feedback to be polysynaptic (Lisman and Grace, 2005; Watabe-Uchida et al., 2012).”
How Prediction Errors Shape Perception, Attention, and Motivation (2012, background): “The lateral substantia nigra pars compacta also receives excitatory cortical inputs from somatosensory and motor cortex (Watabe-Uchida et al., 2012), as well as the subthalamic nucleus, which in general responds to sudden changes in the environment as well as various motor and reward events…”
