Supramammillary projections to the lateral preoptic area drive dopamine release and active behavior
The supramammillary nucleus (SuM) is known to promote active, approach-oriented behaviors by engaging ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), primarily via a glutamatergic SuM→medial septum (MS) pathway. However, the role of other SuM projections in this process remains...
