Opposite modulation of brain stimulation reward by NMDA and AMPA receptors in the ventral tegmental area.
Previous studies have shown that blockade of ventral midbrain (VM) glutamate N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors induces reward, stimulates forward locomotion and enhances brain stimulation reward. Glutamate induces two types of excitatory response on VM neurons, a fast and short lasting depolaris...
