In two fMRI studies, human SN/VTA activations were driven by stimulus novelty, while hippocampal responses were less selective.
The human SN/VTA can code absolute stimulus novelty.
SN/VTA novelty responses were found to be scaled by absolute novelty, not relative novelty.
Novelty was found to enhance learning and the processing of familiar items in the perirhinal/parahippocampal regions.
Novelty exploration in animals can enhance hippocampal plasticity via dopaminergic neuromodulation from the SN/VTA.
The enhancement of hippocampal plasticity from novelty exploration can last for several minutes after the exploration phase.
