Convergent inputs from electrically and topographically distinct orexin cells to locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental area
European Journal of Neuroscience, 05/10/2012
Gonzalez JA et al. – Contrary to previous predictions, the data suggest that medial and lateral Orexin/hypocretin (orx/hcrt) cells, and the different electrical and morphological subclasses of orx/hcrt cells identified to date, send projections to both locus coeruleus (LC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA).
