Altered Mesolimbic Dopamine System in THC Dependence
To explore the functional consequences of cannabinoid withdrawal in the rat mesolimbic dopamine system, we investigated the anatomical morphology of the mesencephalic, presumed dopaminergic, neurons and their main post-synaptic target in the Nucleus Accumbens. We found that TH-positive neurons shrink and Golgi-stained medium spiny neurons loose dendritic spines in withdrawal rats after chronic ...
متن کاملCholinergic modulation of mesolimbic dopamine function and reward.
The substantial health risk posed by obesity and compulsive drug use has compelled a serious research effort to identify the neurobiological substrates that underlie the development these pathological conditions. Despite substantial progress, an understanding of the neurochemical systems that mediate the motivational aspects of drug-seeking and craving remains incomplete. Important work from th...
متن کاملExcitatory action of the mesolimbic dopamine system on septal neurones.
Fluorescence histochemical studies have demonstrated a topographical distribution of dopaminergic nerve terminals in limbic forebrain and cortical regions4, 9-11. These data, together with biochemical evidence indicating significant amounts of dopamine (DA) in these regionsl,XS, zl, suggest the existence of a major anatomical pathway projecting to forebrain areas which originate in mesencephali...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity in the mesolimbic dopamine system and cocaine addiction.
The main characteristics of cocaine addiction are compulsive drug use despite adverse consequences and high rates of relapse during periods of abstinence. A current popular hypothesis is that compulsive cocaine use and cocaine relapse is due to drug-induced neuroadaptations in reward-related learning and memory processes, which cause hypersensitivity to cocaine-associated cues, impulsive decisi...
متن کاملThyrotropin-releasing hormone: hyperactivity and mesolimbic dopamine system in rats.
The mechanism of stimulatory action of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on spontaneous motor activity was investigated in rats. TRH produced a significant hyperactivity with intraperitoneal administration of 20 mg/kg or bilateral injection of 10 micrograms into the nucleus accumbens septi (NAS). Following bilateral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine into the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) pathway, the...
