Cholecystokinin released somatodendritically from dopamine neurons broadly alters synaptic strength across the ventral tegmental area

Setareh Sianati, Yihe Ma, Julie A. Kauer

The paper shows that somatodendritic release of cholecystokinin from dopamine neurons in the VTA alters synaptic strength, both at GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses, and influences neighboring neurons.
