In Figure 1e and f, “F4 control” should be “Cre/tdTomato” and “F4Cre KO” should be “F4Cre/tdTomato”. In addition, in the Figure1f legend, the first sentence should end with “(Cre/tdTomato: n = 10, F4Cre/tdTomato: n = 14)”.

In the ‘Materials and Methods’ section, under ‘Electrophysiology,’ the n values for evoked action potential recordings were omitted. The sentence ‘For high-frequency stimulus-induced action potentials, the stimulus electrode was placed in the rostral part of VTA and a train of 100 Hz stimuli (1 s) was applied’ should end with ‘(Cre/tdTomato: n=10, F4Cre/tdTomato: n=14).’

Later in the same paragraph, in ‘For recording evoked EPSCs (Cre/tdTomato, n=13, F4Cre/tdTomato, n=15; AMPA EPSCs were recorded at −70  mV and NMDA EPSCs were recorded at +40 mV)’, the phrase ‘Cre/tdTomato, n=13, F4Cre/tdTomato, n=15’ should be deleted; those n values should have appeared at the end of the later sentence beginning ‘Miniature ESPCs...’. The complete, corrected sentence is ‘Miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) were acquired in the presence of 0.5–1 μM TTX and 100 μM picrotoxin and semiautomatically detected by offline analysis using in‐house software in Igor Pro (Wavemetrics, Portland, OR, USA) (Cre/tdTomato, n=13, F4Cre/tdTomato, n=15).’

Finally, in the ‘Materials and Methods’ section, third sentence under ‘Immunohistochemistry,’ information for one TH antibody was omitted. The list of antibodies should end with ‘or Millipore MAB5280, 1:1000–1:2000.’
