Commentary: Activation of Pedunculopontine Glutamate Neurons Is Reinforcing.

We focus on the recent findings from Yoo et al (2017), who implemented optogenetic method as a strong and trending tool for detection of specific circuits and cell dominancy of the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) reward pathway
By cell-type selective approaches, they claim that glutamatergic projections of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) neurons to VTA, are the most important neural substrate of positive reinforcement among heterogonous population of dopaminergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons of VTA
