It seems like there were a few typos in your question, but I believe you are asking about the structures in the brain that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine and their relation to movement, particularly in the context of the midbrain.

The two primary structures in the midbrain involved in the production of dopamine are:

1. **Substantia Nigra**: This structure plays a crucial role in movement control and is part of the basal ganglia circuitry. The neurons in the substantia nigra produce dopamine and send projections to other parts of the brain, including the striatum, which is vital for the regulation of voluntary movement. Dysfunction in this area is associated with Parkinson's disease.

2. **Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA)**: This area also produces dopamine and is involved in reward, motivation, and the regulation of mood. The VTA has projections to several regions of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens, and is associated with the brain's reward circuitry.

Both the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area are located in the midbrain and are significant for different aspects of dopamine-related functions, including movement and reward processing.
