Spatial distribution of neurochemicals around VTA and RN in awake rats. (a) Coronal map of the brain showing the location of the VTA and RN and (b) placements of measurements made in the VTA and RN with the DA concentration at each. Samples represent A/P coordinates of 4.80 mm to 5.64 mm posterior to bregma, plotted at 5.28 mm and excluding 1 fraction from the rostral area of the VTA for clarity. (c) Normalized concentrations ± SEM between the VTA and RN.
