This study investigated the putative role of non-NMDA excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) for the increase in dopamine (DA) release in the nucleus accumbens (NAC) and behavioral stimulation induced by systemically administered dizocilpine (MK-801). Microdialysis
