Figure 4. — Proposed models representing how neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) may convey valence information to BLA neurons. If VTA neurons are segregated by valence, they may project to similar neurons in the BLA (left). Alternatively, VTA neurons that respond to appetitive stimuli may project to BLA neurons responding to the same valence, while other VTA neurons that respond to both aversive and appetitive stimuli may project to neurons in the BLA also responding to both valence stimuli.
