8 Dopaminergic pathways

4 major)

1) Ventral tegmental area -nucleus accumbens-> limbic system:mesolimbic::refers to destination & location of pathway(midbrain) pathway

2) Ventral tegmental area -->frontal cortex: mesocortical::refers to destination & location of pathway(midbrain pathway

3) substantia niagra--> dorsal striatum: Nigrostriatal pathway

4) Hypothalamus --> Pituitary gland: Tuberoinfundibular pathway

4 minor)

VTA --> Amygdala

VTA --> Hippocampus

VTA --> Cingulate Gyrus

VTA --> Olfactory bulb
