TLDR
A path-specific input from DR serotonergic neurons to VTA that promotes reward by the release of glutamate and activation of mesoaccumbens dopamine neurons is suggested.

The hypocretin (orexin) system: from a neural circuitry perspective

TL;DR: This review focuses on the function of neural pathways from hypocretin neurons to target brain regions, and the development of pharmaceutical compounds targeting hypocrretin signaling.

Revisiting the role of neurotransmitters in epilepsy: An updated review

TL;DR: Critical findings of the current literature about the role of neurotransmitters in epilepsy are provided and the emerging implication of mutations in neurotransmitter-mediated receptors and ion channels are discussed.

Plasticity of the Reward Circuitry After Early-Life Adversity: Mechanisms and Significance.

TL;DR: Focusing on amygdala nuclei and their projections, evidence is provided suggesting that aberrant CRF expression and function may underlie augmented connectivity of the nucleus accumbens with fear/anxiety regions, disrupting the function of this critical locus of pleasure and reward.

Phasic Activation of Dorsal Raphe Serotonergic Neurons Increases Pupil Size

TL;DR: It is shown that phasic 5-HT neuron stimulation causes transient PS changes and is observed that the effect of 5- HT on PS depended on the level of environmental uncertainty, consistent with the idea that5-HT could report a surprise signal.

Dopamine, learning and motivation

TL;DR: Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens has been linked to the efficacy of these unconditioned rewards, but dopamine release in a broader range of structures is implicated in the 'stamping-in' of memory that attaches motivational importance to otherwise neutral environmental stimuli.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the NAc and VTA contribute importantly to the pathophysiology and symptomatology of depression and may even be involved in its etiology.

The spectrum of behaviors influenced by serotonin

TL;DR: The diverse array of behavioral effects of serotonin form the basis for understanding its potential role as an etiological marker in psychiatric disorders and for the successful pharmacologic intervention of drugs regulating serotonin neurotransmission in behavior.

Projections from the rat prefrontal cortex to the ventral tegmental area: target specificity in the synaptic associations with mesoaccumbens and mesocortical neurons.

TL;DR: The unexpected finding of selective PFC synaptic input to GABA- containing mesoaccumbens neurons and DA-containing mesocortical neurons suggests novel mechanisms through which the PFC can influence the activity of ascending DA and GABA projections.
