Prefrontal cortex-nucleus accumbens interaction: in vivo modulation by dopamine and glutamate in the prefrontal cortex
Abstract
Previous experimental studies have shown that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulates the activity of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), and in particular the release of dopamine in this area of the brain. In the present report we review recent microinjections/microdialysis studies from our laboratory on the effects of stimulation/blockade of dopamine and glutamate receptors in the PFC that modulate dopamine, and also acetylcholine release in the NAc. Stimulation of prefrontal D2 dopamine receptors, but not group I mGlu glutamate receptors, reduces the release of dopamine and acetylcholine in the NAc and spontaneous motor activity. This inhibitory role of prefrontal D2 receptors is not changed by acute systemic injections of the NMDA antagonist phencyclidine. On the other hand, the blockade of NMDA receptors in the PFC increases the release of dopamine and acetylcholine in the NAc as well as motor activity which suggests that the hypofunction of prefrontal NMDA receptors is able to produce the neurochemical and behavioural changes associated with a dysfunction of the corticolimbic circuit. We suggest here that dopamine and glutamate receptors are, in part, segregated in specific cellular circuits in the PFC. Thus, the stimulation/blockade of these receptors would have a different net impact on PFC output projections to regulate dopamine and acetylcholine release in the NAc and in guided behaviour. Finally, it is speculated that environmental enrichment might produce plastic changes that modify the functional interaction between the PFC and the NAc in both physiological and pathological conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
