Preferred Name	ventral tegmental area
Definitions	Unpaired midbrain region situated in the ventromedial portion of the reticular formation. The VTA is medial to the substantia nigra and ventral to the red nucleus, and extends caudally from the posterior hypothalamus in the diencephalon. The VTA contains dopamine neurons that project to various limbic and cortical areas and is a critical component of the brain's reward circuitry.
Synonyms	ventral tegmental nucleus (Rioch) tegmentum ventrale area tegmentalis ventralis (Tsai) area tegmentalis ventralis ventral brain stem ventromedial mesencephalic tegmentum ventral tegmental area (Tsai) VTA ventral tegmental nucleus (tsai) ventral tegmental area of tsai ventral tegmental nucleus of tsai a10a See more See less
