External globus pallidus neurons were labelled as presynaptic inputs to GABAergic VTA neurons in GAD2-Cre mice, with relative enrichment over dopamine cells.

Rabies tracing from VTA dopamine neurons labelled external globus pallidus neurons; the proportion of GPe input cells was significantly higher after a single injection of an addictive drug than in controls (p = 0.0036).
