Abstract:
:Both opiates and dopamine play important roles in learning and memory. Although synergistic action between these two neurotransmitters has been found, their functional roles remain unclear. Here, low dose morphine (2.5 mg/kg) and low dose dopamine receptor agonists (apomorphine 0.05 mg/kg; SKF38393 0.01 mg/kg; bromocriptine 0.05 mg/kg), which have no effects on spatial recognition memory, were injected intraperitoneally into mice 30 minutes before a memory test in a two-trial recognition Y-maze. The Y-maze is based on the innate tendency of rodents to explore novel environments and is therefore suitable for exploring the effects of morphine on learning and memory. Our results showed that both D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptor agonists dose-dependently impaired the retrieval of spatial recognition memory in the Y-maze, and co-administration of memory ineffective doses of apomorphine (0.05 mg/kg), SKF38393 (0.01 mg/kg), or bromocriptine (0.05 mg/kg) and of morphine (2.5 mg/kg) resulted in impaired spatial recognition memory retrieval in mice. These findings suggest the existence of interactions between morphine and dopamine receptor agonists in memory processing and that activation of the dopamine system might contribute to morphine-induced impairment of memory, which could provide insight into human addiction.
