Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is responsible for releasing dopamine onto the nucleus accumbens, which is a key part of the brain's reward system. When someone becomes dependent on cocaine, it can lead to increased dopamine release from the VTA onto the nucleus accumbens, which reinforces their drug use.
