Repeated cocaine injections have no influence on tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the rat nucleus accumbens core or shell.
Numerous reports have demonstrated augmented cocaine-evoked release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens of rats pre-treated with cocaine. However, the extent to which repeated cocaine injections affect basal levels of dopamine is unclear. There have been reports of increases, decreases, or no change in basal levels of extracellular accumbal dopamine resulting from repeated psychostimulant admi...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of tyrosine hydroxylase in noradrenergic neurons of brain.
Tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.2), the enzyme catalyzing the rate-limiting step in catecholamine biosynthesis, was localized by electron microscopy within noradrenergic neurons of the nucleus locus coeruleus of the rat brain with a specific antibody to tyrosine hydroxylase labeled by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical method. Labeled cell bodies and their processes were easily ...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of the serotonin transporter in limbic and motor compartments of the nucleus accumbens.
Extracellular levels of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) can influence both cognitive and motor functions involving extensive connections with the frontal cortex. The 5-HT levels reflect vesicular release and plasmalemmal reuptake through the serotonin transporter (SERT). We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to determine the sites for SERT activa...
متن کاملOpposing roles of nucleus accumbens core and shell dopamine in the modulation of limbic information processing.
The dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is implicated in the selection and integration of motivationally relevant corticolimbic information that governs behavioral output. However, it is unknown whether the dopaminergic innervations of two anatomically distinct subregions of the NAc, core and shell, have differential roles in this gating process, and whether dopaminergic mec...
متن کاملRoles of nucleus accumbens core and shell in incentive-cue responding and behavioral inhibition.
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is involved in many reward-related behaviors. The NAc has two major components, the core and the shell. These two areas have different inputs and outputs, suggesting that they contribute differentially to goal-directed behaviors. Using a discriminative stimulus (DS) task in rats and inactivating the NAc by blocking excitatory inputs with glutamate antagonists, we dis...
