    The dorsal tegmental nucleus is located in the brain stem near the midline. Two nuclei exist in both hemispheres. The DTN is generally subdivided into four parts called partes centralis, ventromedialis, anterior, and posterior. [1] DTN contains a dense population of GABAergic cells. [2] [3] In the rat, few also express calbindin (CB) or ...
