Stress stimulates dopamine (DA) release in nucleus accumbens (NAcc) but will do so more strongly in medial prefrontal cortex (PFC). Evidence indicates, however, that the cortical DA response to stress acts to dampen the concurrent increase in NAcc DA release. In the present study, we used voltammetr
