Hi,
This is an interesting journal article that looks at reduced VTA-Hippocampal connectivity in children and adolescents exposed to early threat being related to vulnerability to stress-related disorders.
I am always fascinated with this kind of topic. I am looking forward on your research regarding VTA and emotions, especially, the treatment of the dysfunction. I am also going to touch some of the functions of the brain as I will talk about Reward Circuitry. Perhaps something to read about regarding the developmental and generic syndrome that discusses VTA:

Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
Layout
Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.## Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Learning features
Basic use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Excellent use of images.
No use of tables. Figure 3 should be a table. Tables can be created within Wikiversity.
Basic use of feature boxes.
Basic use of quizzes.
Useful case studies or examples.
Use bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1, for See also and External links (done).
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags) by checking and making correct use of commas - commas have been used in some places where they aren't needed.

Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
