Glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype have been implicated in behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants and in psychotic behaviors involving excitation of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons. Antagonists of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptors of
The nucleus accumbens septi receives inputs from dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and glutamatergic neurons of the ventral subiculum (VS). The convergence of these inputs in the NAS is important for the normal expression of exploratory locomotion; stimulation of the VS by inj
