Mechanism of the cardiovascular effects of the GABA<inf>A</inf> receptors of the ventral tegmental area of the rat brain
2015, Neuroscience LettersCitation Excerpt :Stimulation of dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic cells in the ventral midbrain produced a marked increase in the expression of the proto-oncogene c-fos in the supraoptic nucleus and a significant increase in plasma vasopressin levels, suggesting the activation of vasopressinergic neurons in this area [11]. Microinjection of substance P analogue DiMe-C7 into the VTA produced an increase in dopamine release [21] and increased arterial pressure which is mediated by release of vasopressin into circulation and marked cellular activity in supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus, a major source of pituitary vasopressin [11,22,23]. Nevertheless, no direct input from the VTA to either PVN or SON has been described [24,25], suggesting that the effect of GABAergic neurons of the VTA on vasopressin release may be mediated by an indirect neuronal pathway.
