An Excitant Amino Acid Projection from the Medial Prefrontal Cortex to the Anterior Part of Nucleus Accumbens in the Rat
Abstract
Abstract: High‐affinity uptake of neurotransmitter substrates in synaptosome‐containing homogenates and tissue concentrations of amino acids were examined in subcortical areas 5–6 days after bilateral N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate lesions confined to rat medial prefrontal cortex. D‐[3 H]Aspartate (32% of control) and [3 H]γ‐aminobutyric acid ([3 H]GABA) (60% of control) uptakes were significantly reduced in medial prefrontal cortex, whereas [3 H]choline (110% of control) uptake was unchanged, suggesting the production of axon‐sparing lesions. The uptake of D‐[3 H]aspartate (76% of control), but not of [3 H]GABA or [3 H]choline, was significantly reduced in nucleus accumbens, with no concomitant reduction in amino acid concentrations. When examined in serial coronal sections, reduced D‐[3 H]aspartate uptake was confined to the most anterior 500 μm of nucleus accumbens (67% of contralateral sample). No significant reductions of uptake or amino acid concentrations were observed in caudate putamen or ventral tegmental area. These results suggest a role for glutamate or aspartate as neurotransmitters in projections from medial prefrontal cortex to anterior nucleus accumbens. Medial prefrontal cortex may represent the major excitatory cortical input to the nucleus accumbens.

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.
