Excellent review. The authors present the VTA as a unique brain hub that integrates a variety of humoral and neuronal signals to regulate the "drive" to eat palatable foods for pleasure, comfort and relief. They appreciate the difficulty of targeting this intricate brain region to selectively reduce the excessive pursuit of food reward without altering other life pursuits.
