The role of dopamine in intracranial self-stimulation of the ventral tegmental area

The role of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in brain stimulation reward produced by electrical stimulation of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) was investigated in the rat. In the first experiment, extensive 6- hydroxydopamine lesions of the ascending fibers of the mesotelencephalic DA projections resulted...
