ventral striatum may be a «cleaner» signal of stable preference than can be obtained from an individual behavioral task.
In the brain, they are located in the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus and arcuate nucleus, as well as
in ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens.

SM may result in other neurological deficits such as thoracic limb weakness and muscle atrophy (due to

Ventral Tegmental Dopamine Neurons,» will be published May 4, 2011 by The Journal of Neuroscience.
We demonstrate that the spiking activity of single neocortical neurons in the somatosensory cortex of the rat can be used to decode patterned tactile stimuli delivered to the distal
ventral skin of the second forepaw digits on both sides of the body.
Carbohydrate which has been directly assessed (not deduced by subtraction of other components from total weight of sample) is significant in amount, reaching levels in the range 8 — 30 %, except in the anterior dorsal and
ventral regions (head) where levels are 6 % and < 1 %, respectively.

Its two pairs of
ventral fins were of particular note as they were found to have evolved from the same structures as the limbs of land animals.
This aberrant 2 - AG signaling reduces inhibitory GABAergic signaling
at ventral tegmental area dopaminergic synapses, resulting in enhanced dopamine cell excitability and excessive dopaminergic responses to nicotine.
We found enhanced activity in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex [rACC; MNI space coordinates (x, y, z): — 6, 41, 22; Z = 3.85; P < 0.0005] and medial orbitofrontal cortex (mObfc; 6, 49, — 19; Z = 3.42; P < 0.0005),
ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC; 13, 32, — 14; Z = 4.56; P < 0.0005 uncorrected), and the vmPFC -LRB--- 4, 39, — 13; Z = 3.48; P < 0.0005).
For ventral striatum, drug (F = 56, P = 0.0001) and interaction (F = 7.3, P = 0.01) were significant; post hoc t tests showed greater decreases in controls (25 ± 18 %) than abusers (11 ± 25 %)(P = 0.02).
While this humpback bottom feeding behavior occurs at relatively slow speeds, it does involve the expansion of
