The ventral subiculum (vSUB) plays a key role in addiction, and identifying the
neuronal circuits and synaptic mechanisms by which vSUB alters the excitability
of dopamine neurons is a necessary step to understand the motor changes induced
by cocaine. Here, we report that high-frequency stimulation of the vSUB (HFSvSUB)
over-activates ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons in vivo and triggers
long-lasting modifications of synaptic transmission measured ex vivo. This
potentiation is caused by NMDA-dependent plastic changes occurring in the bed
nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Finally, we report that the modification
of the BNST-VTA neural circuits induced by HFSvSUB potentiates locomotor activity
induced by a sub-threshold dose of cocaine. Our findings unravel a neuronal
circuit encoding behavioral effects of cocaine in rats and highlight the
importance of adaptive modifications in the BNST, a structure that influences
motivated behavior as well as maladaptive behaviors associated with addiction.
