Studies were conducted to determine the impact of self-administered
cocaine on extracellular striatal dopamine in four rhesus monkeys. The
extent to which external cue conditioning contributed to the effects of
cocaine and whether there is activation of striatal dopaminergic
neurotransmission during drug-seeking behavior was also examined.
Microdialysis measurements were made at 2 min intervals in sensorimotor
(dorsolateral) and mesolimbic (central and ventromedial) striatum. A
fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement was used, with cocaine
availability signaled by a visual cue. Studies examined the effects of
cocaine or cocaine cues against a drug-free baseline. Large (fivefold
to eightfold) increases in extracellular dopamine after a
self-administered infusion of 0.5 mg/kg cocaine were quite rapid and
matched the time course of reported subjective effects in human
laboratory studies. To determine if conditioning to external cues
contributed to the cocaine-induced increases, saline was substituted
for cocaine in the infusion, leaving all other visual and auditory
stimuli unchanged. No increase in extracellular dopamine in either
sensorimotor or mesolimbic striatal subdivisions was observed.
Extracellular dopamine during extended periods of drug-seeking behavior
triggered by a visual cue was determined in both central and
ventromedial striatum. This procedure also did not result in any
measurable changes in extracellular dopamine. These studies demonstrate
rapid and pronounced pharmacological actions of self-administered cocaine. No apparent conditioned component of those actions was associated with external environmental cues, suggesting that cues that
trigger drug-seeking behavior in nonhuman primates do not cause
conditioned increases in mesolimbic striatal dopamine.
Key words:
cocaine self-administration; rhesus monkey; microdialysis; ventral striatum; cue conditioning; drug-seeking
behavior; plasma cocaine
