Abstract: | The serotonin-3 (5-HT3) agonist 1-phenylbuguanide (0.1–1.0 mM in perfusate) caused a robust, dose-dependent enhancement of extracellular dopamine content in nucleus accumbens as measured by in vivo microdialysis. This action was antagonized by co-perfusion of the 5-HT3 antagonists zacopride and GR38032F (1 mM in perfusate). Similar effects were observed in 5-HT-denervated rats. These findings suggest that there is a potent modulation of dopamine (DA) release in the nucleus accumbens mediated via 5-HT3 receptors, which appear to be located presynaptically on DA terminals of the mesolimbic DA pathway. |
