Hi Scott.
The VTA has projections afferent to the entire PFC (the "mesocortical" pathway). It also projects to the striatum (the "Mesolimbic" pathway). There is also a "mesocoerulear" pathway to the locus coeruleus affecting the NE system.
The VTA, like the LC, is in the brain stem.
The accumbens is next door to the amygdala, and both are posterior to, and below, the cortex.
I wish I knew why AD's poop out so rapidly for you. Why do you think the DLPFC is involved?
