| Alix B W Norton, Yong Sang Jo, Emily W Clark, Cortney A Taylor, Sheri J Y Mizumor. Independent neural coding of reward and movement by pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus neurons in freely navigating rats. The European journal of neuroscience. vol 33. issue 10. 2011-09-26. PMID:21395868. |
relevant to both vta and sn learning systems, however, pptg appears to serve as a sensory gating mechanism to facilitate reinforcement learning, while at the same time provides reinforcement-based guidance of ongoing goal-directed behaviors. |

| Joshua L Jones, Jeremy J Day, Brandon J Aragona, Robert A Wheeler, R Mark Wightman, Regina M Carell. Basolateral amygdala modulates terminal dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and conditioned responding. Biological psychiatry. vol 67. issue 8. 2010-06-17. PMID:20044074. |
dopamine signaling in the nucleus accumbens (nac) is essential for goal-directed behaviors and primarily arises from burst firing of ventral tegmental area neurons. |

| José Martínez-Hernández, Enrique Lanuza, Fernando Martínez-Garcí. Selective dopaminergic lesions of the ventral tegmental area impair preference for sucrose but not for male sexual pheromones in female mice. The European journal of neuroscience. vol 24. issue 3. 2006-11-01. PMID:16930416. |
in this regard, here we analyse the effects of specific lesions of dopaminergic cells of the ventral tegmental area (vta) of female mice on two goal-directed behaviours, namely sucrose preference (intake of sucrose solution vs. water) and preference for male sexual pheromones (exploration of male-soiled vs. clean bedding). |

| Timur Cetin, Florian Freudenberg, Martina Füchtemeier, Michael Koc. Dopamine in the orbitofrontal cortex regulates operant responding under a progressive ratio of reinforcement in rats. Neuroscience letters. vol 370. issue 2-3. 2005-01-31. PMID:15488305. |
the orbitofrontal cortex (ofc) receives a dopaminergic projection from the ventral tegmental area and is particularly important for goal-directed appetitive behaviors and for the neural representation of reward value. |

| Elyssa B Margolis, Gregory O Hjelmstad, Antonello Bonci, Howard L Field. Kappa-opioid agonists directly inhibit midbrain dopaminergic neurons. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience. vol 23. issue 31. 2003-12-02. PMID:14602811. |
dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (vta) play a critical role in motivation and reinforcement of goal-directed behaviors. |

| S V Al'berti. [Participation of the nucleus accumbens in acquisition of spatial choice behavior in rats performing in a radial plus maze]. Rossiiskii fiziologicheskii zhurnal imeni I.M. Sechenova. vol 88. issue 5. 2002-08-20. PMID:12136721. |
the results obtained are in good agreement with suggestion that the nucleus accumbens is a site of convergence of spatial information (from hippocampus) with reward information (from amygdala and vta), providing bridge for effective limbic-motor interface underlying motivated goal-directed behavior in animals. |

these results indicate that a proposed neuronal circuit composed of gaba input to ventral tegmental area neurons, dopamine input from the ventral tegmental area to nucleus accumbens neurons, and subsequent gaba input from the nucleus accumbens to globus pallidus neurons may interact with the goal-directed behaviour, drinking, elicited by central angiotensin ii administration. |
