Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:The present study investigates the effects of injections of a specific N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) antagonist 3-[(R)-2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl]-propyl-1-phophonic acid (CPP) into the prefrontal cortex (PFC) on the extracellular concentrations of dopamine and acetylcholine in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and on motor activity in the freely moving rat. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Sprague-Dawley male rats were implanted with guide cannulas into the medial PFC and NAc to perform bilateral microinjections and microdialysis experiments. Spontaneous motor activity was monitored in the open field. RESULTS:Injections of CPP (1 microg/0.5 microL) into the PFC produced a significant increase of the baseline extracellular concentrations of dopamine (up to 130%), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC; up to 120%), homovanillic acid (HVA; up to 130%), and acetylcholine (up to 190%) in the NAc as well as motor hyperactivity. In the NAc, perfusion of the NMDA and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) glutamate antagonists CPP (50 microM)+6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX; 50 microM) through the microdialysis probe blocked acetylcholine release, but not DOPAC and HVA increases produced by CPP injections into the PFC. Also, increases in motor activity produced by prefrontal injections of CPP were significantly reduced by bilateral injections into the NAc of a mixed D1/D2 antagonist, flupenthixol (5 and 25 microg/0.5 microL). Injections into the NAc of the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine (1 and 10 microg/0.5 microL) further increased, and of the nicotinic antagonist mecamylamine (1 and 10 microg/0.5 microL) did not change, the increases in motor activity produced by prefrontal CPP injections. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that the dysfunction of NMDA receptors in the PFC could be a key factor in the neurochemical and motor effects associated with corticolimbic hyperactivity.
