@Tryptofish:

• Main reasons I decided on a distinct article are:

1. it's a GABAergic nucleus vs a DAergic nucleus for the VTA
2. it's spatially disjoint from the DA nucleus, though with no clear boundary (the induction of
   ΔFosB
   exclusively by psychostimulants in the tVTA, and not the remaining VTA, is a very clear functional boundary though)
3. it contains a projection to the VTA.

I imagine this article will grow to the size of the VTA at some point for those reasons. It's worth noting that I didn't bother adding a large amount of relevant material from the review when I made the page; e.g., peptide/neurotransmitter interactions and mediated cognitive effects.

• Fair enough on the list. I merely wrote the projections so I could easily insert it into the table of neurotransmitter systems at Neurotransmitter#Actions.

I figured I'd work on the neurotransmitter article while I wait several weeks for my 4th round of FAC... I merely happened across the reviews on this structure when I was looking for more references on the function of ΔFosB outside the NAcc.

Good, all of that makes sense to me. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:04, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:MED#Anatomy? I can't seem to find one for the project. Trying to determine all the project-specific sections to add. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢ | Maintained) 18:24, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply

No, no project MOS page that I know of. I'd suggest following the MOS:MED guideline. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:43, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
