- •
We recorded local field potential (LFP) activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA).
- •
Cocaine increased local field potentials in the VTA as well as locomotor behavior.
- •
VTA changes during locomotion were highest in the delta and theta bands.
- •
VTA changes were highest directly after cocaine injection.
- •
Initiation of stimulant induced locomotion can be studied using LFP recording.
