An intact mesocortical dopaminergic (DA) input to the prefrontal
cortex (PFC) has been reported to be necessary for long-term potentiation (LTP) to occur at hippocampal-prefrontal cortex synapses. Here, we investigated the role of D1 and D2 receptors in this NMDA
receptor-dependent LTP. Local infusion of the D1 agonist SKF81297 at an
optimal dose induced a sustained enhancement of hippocampal-PFC LTP,
whereas the D1 antagonist SCH23390 caused a dose-related impairment of
its induction. The D1 agonist effect was mimicked by infusion of a low
dose of the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin, whereas LTP was
severely attenuated with a protein kinase A inhibitor, Rp-cAMPS.
To further assess the complex interplay between DA and NMDA receptors,
changes in extracellular DA levels in the PFC were estimated during
LTP, and a significant increase was observed immediately after tetanus.
Taken together, these data suggest that D1 but not D2 receptors are
crucial for the DA control of the NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic
response on a specific excitatory input to the PFC. The interactions of these receptors may play a crucial role in the storage and
transfer of hippocampal information in the PFC.
