Recent studies indicate that an increase in serotonergic (5-HT) activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) produces an increase in dopamine (DA) release, providing a possible mechanism for the involvement of DA in the therapeutic action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants.

Many neurochemical and behavioral functions mediated by dopamine require the dynamic interaction between dopamine receptors. We examined the behavioral effects evoked by microinjections of drugs with relative selectivity for specific dopamine receptors into the nucleus accumbens (Acb). The results s
Tetrahydropapaveroline injected in the ventral tegmental area shifts dopamine efflux differentially in the shell and core of nucleus accumbens in high-ethanol-preferring (HEP) rats.

Extracellular recordings of single neurons within the nucleus accumbens (NAS) of halothane-anesthetized rats have revealed that systemic nicotine injections (0.5 and 1.0 mgkg, s.c.) inhibit the action potentials of normally inactive NAS neurons, evoked by fimbria stimulation (fimbria-driven response
