Note: Meso-corticolimbic dopaminergic neurons from the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra project to an important structure of the reward circuitry, the nucleus accumbens, and to the cortical areas primarily responsible for making decisions, such as whether to use drugs (e.g. the prefrontal cortex, and the cingulate gyrus).
