This study compared the effects of dopamine receptor stimulation in the entorhinal cortex on dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, measured by in vivo microdialysis in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats, with and without oestradiol and progesterone priming. Nonselective dopamine receptor stimulation
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.
