    ..These data indicate that phasic elevations in nucleus accumbens dopamine evoked by exposure to unconditioned novel stimuli are dependent on impulse flow from the hippocampus and glutamatergic transmission in the VTA...

    ..Thus, the present study suggests that the modulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission by the ventral subiculum results from a trans-synaptic activation of dopamine cell bodies in the VTA...
