This midbrain area is unique in that it contains three of the brain's four major dopaminergic tracts. Its use of dopamine as a neurotransmitter contrasts with the more typical central nervous system use of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Dopamine in the brain is important for regulating motor movement. Also, dopamine is noteworthy because it is one of the "feel good" neurotransmitters of the brain that can elevate mood states and combat the effects of stress.
