Ventral tegmental area glutamate neurons co-release GABA and promote positive reinforcement

In addition to dopamine neurons, the ventral tegmental area (VTA) contains GABA-, glutamate- and co-releasing neurons, and recent reports suggest a complex role for the glutamate neurons in behavioural reinforcement.
