Abstract
The lateral boundaries of the substantia nigra, zona compacta, were mapped for intracranial self-stimulation in rats. The boundaries of the positive region for self-stimulation were found to correspond to the boundaries of the dopaminergic cell layer. These data strengthen the view that rewarding stimulation in this system activates the tegmental dopaminergic celss or, more likely, their immediate afferents.
