Kinetics of the evoked dopamine release and subsequent uptake in the parts of the rat striatum has not been studied sufficiently. The aim of this study is to fill this gap and to investigate kinetics of dopamine release and uptake in vivo so that comparison can be made between the dorsal and the parts of the ventral striatum and with taking into account the overlapping electrochemical factors during the subsequent analysis of voltammetry recordings. Materials and methods. The evoked wave of dopamine release and uptake in the dorsal striatum, core, and shell of the nucleus accumbens in the different groups of rats was recorded by the fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. Voltammetry recordings were subjected to principal component analysis and only the components associated with dopamine were taken for further analysis. The values of the parameters of the curves of dopamine release and uptake were defined. Then factor and variance analyses of the parameters were carried out. Results. Factor analysis showed that the set of parameters of the dopamine wave can be reduced to the 4 factors that are comparable with the variables of the known from the literature mathematical model that describes the dopamine wave based on the MichaelisMenten equation. Two of the factors and the corresponding parameters of the dopamine curve differ within the dorsal and ventral striatum. Factor 1 is associated with the parameters HL, T80_20, T20_0, slope_T20T0, which are significantly larger in the core of the nucleus accumbens. Factor 3 is associated with the parameters T50_2, AUC, FWHH, T100_80 which are significantly less in the dorsal striatum. Conclusions. The parameters of the curve of dopamine release and uptake are determined by 4 factors. Among the dopamine curve parameters, the best measures of the factors are T50_1, DAC, T100_80 и T20_0. The kinetics of stimulated dopamine release and uptake varies within the dorsal and ventral striatum. The final phase of dopamine uptake is slowed in the core of the nucleus accumbens in comparison to the shell, and the dorsal striatum. The slope of initial phase of dopamine uptake in the dorsal striatum is steeper.

Abstract Background Impulsivity and novelty preference are both associated with an increased propensity to develop addiction-like behaviors, but their relationship and respective underlying dopamine (DA) underpinnings are not fully elucidated. Methods We evaluated a large cohort (n = 49) of Roman high- and low-avoidance rats using single photon emission computed tomography to concurrently measure in vivo striatal D2/3 receptor (D2/3R) availability and amphetamine (AMPH)-induced DA release in relation to impulsivity and novelty preference using a within-subject design. To further examine the DA-dependent processes related to these traits, midbrain D2/3-autoreceptor levels were measured using ex vivo autoradiography in the same animals. Results We replicated a robust inverse relationship between impulsivity, as measured with the 5-choice serial reaction time task, and D2/3R availability in ventral striatum and extended this relationship to D2/3R levels measured in dorsal striatum. Novelty preference was positively related to impulsivity and showed inverse associations with D2/3R availability in dorsal striatum and ventral striatum. A high magnitude of AMPH-induced DA release in striatum predicted both impulsivity and novelty preference, perhaps owing to the diminished midbrain D2/3-autoreceptor availability measured in high-impulsive/novelty-preferring Roman high-avoidance animals that may amplify AMPH effect on DA transmission. Mediation analyses revealed that while D2/3R availability and AMPH-induced DA release in striatum are both significant predictors of impulsivity, the effect of striatal D2/3R availability on novelty preference is fully mediated by evoked striatal DA release. Conclusions Impulsivity and novelty preference are related but mediated by overlapping, yet dissociable, DA-dependent mechanisms in striatum that may interact to promote the emergence of an addiction-prone phenotype.

AbstractThe neurochemical transmitter dopamine (DA) is implicated in a number of diseases states, including Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and drug abuse. DA terminal fields in the dorsal striatum and core region of the nucleus accumbens in the rat brain are organized as heterogeneous domains exhibiting fast and slow kinetic of DA release. The rates of dopamine release are significantly and substantially faster in the fast domains relative to the slow domains. The striatum is composed of a mosaic of spatial compartments known as the striosomes (patches) and the matrix. Extensive literature exists on the spatial organization of the patch and matrix compartments and their functions. However, little is known about these compartments as they relate to fast and slow kinetic DA domains observed by fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV). Thus, we combined high spatial resolution of FSCV with detailed immunohistochemical analysis of these architectural compartments (patch and matrix) using fluorescence microscopy. Our findings demonstrated a direct correlation between patch compartments with fast domain DA kinetics and matrix compartments to slow domain DA kinetics. We also investigated the kinetic domains in two very distinct sub-regions in the striatum, the lateral dorsal striatum (LDS) and the medial dorsal striatum (MDS). The lateral dorsal striatum as opposed to the medial dorsal striatum is mainly governed by fast kinetic DA domains. These finding are highly relevant as they may hold key promise in unraveling the fast and slow kinetic DA domains and their physiological significance. Graphical abstract
