CORRECTION

In the article "Psychomotor Stimulant Addiction: A Neural Systems Perspective," by Barry J. Everitt and Marina E. Wolf, which appeared on pages 3312-3320 of the May 1, 2002 issue, the first full paragraph on page 3316 gives the erroneous impression that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) does not project to the ventral tegmental area (VTA). However, the point being made was that PFC projections to the VTA do not synapse directly on those VTA dopamine neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens (mesoaccumbens dopamine neurons), although they do synapse on VTA GABA neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens and on VTA dopamine neurons projecting to the PFC. Thus, the route of communication between the PFC and mesoaccumbens dopamine neurons must be indirect.
