Summary

Description
English: The main dopaminergic pathways of the human brain: the mesocortical pathway, connecting the ventral tegmental area (VTA) with the frontal cortex; the mesolimbic pathway, connecting the VTA with the nucleus accumbens; the nigrostriatal pathway, connecting the substantia nigra with the dorsal striatum; and the tuberoinfundibular pathway, connecting the hypothalamus with the pituitary.
