“…One neural circuit that mediates both sensory and sensorimotor gating connects the medial septum (Ma and Leung 2007;Ma et al , 2009Miller and Freedman 1993) to the hippocampus (Bast and Feldon 2003;Miller and Freedman 1995), nucleus accumbens, and then ventral pallidum (Arai et al 2008;de Bruin et al 2001;Kretschmer and Koch 1998;Swerdlow and Geyer 1990). Within this neural circuit, dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (de Bruin et al 2001;Swerdlow and Geyer 1990), glutamate, and GABA in the medial septum Leung 2000, 2007;Ma et al , 2009, hippocampus (Moxon et al 2003;Hershman et al 1995), and ventral pallidum (Arai et al 2008;Swerdlow and Geyer 1990) participate in mediation of the gating phenomena.…”
