چکیده
Midbrain dopamine neurons are activated directly by cholinergic agonists or by stimulation of the cholinergic neurons in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDT) of the pons in rats. In urethane-anesthetized mice, electrical stimulation of the LDT resulted in a rapid, stimulus-time-locked increase in dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), followed several minutes later by a prolonged increase in dopamine release. In mutant mice with truncated M5 receptors, the prolonged phase of dopamine release was absent, but the initial, rapid phase of dopamine release was fully observed. We conclude that M5 muscarinic receptors on midbrain dopamine neurons mediate a prolonged facilitation of dopamine release in the NAc. These results imply that M5 muscarinic receptors play an important role in motivational behaviors driven by dopamine activity in the accumbens.

M5 Muscarinic Receptors Mediate Striatal Dopamine Activation by Ventral Tegmental Morphine and Pedunculopontine Stimulation in Mice
Opiates, like other addictive drugs, elevate forebrain dopamine levels and are thought to do so mainly by inhibiting GABA neurons near the ventral tegmental area (VTA), in turn leading to a disinhibition of dopamine neurons. However, cholinergic inputs from the laterodorsal (LDT) and pedunculopontine (PPT) tegmental nucleus to the VTA and substantia nigra (SN) importantly contribute, as either ...
متن کاملMultiple muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes modulate striatal dopamine release, as studied with M1-M5 muscarinic receptor knock-out mice.
A proper balance between striatal muscarinic cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission is required for coordinated locomotor control. Activation of striatal muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) is known to modulate striatal dopamine release. To identify the mAChR subtype(s) involved in this activity, we used genetically altered mice that lacked functional M1-M5 mAChRs [knock-out (KO...

This study determined the role of ventral tegmental area acetylcholine and glutamate receptors in modulating laterodorsal tegmentum stimulation-evoked dopamine efflux in the nucleus accumbens. Rapid changes in dopamine oxidation current were measured at carbon fiber microelectrodes using fixed potential amperometry in urethane anesthetized male mice. Intraventral tegmental area infusions of the...
متن کاملBrain-stimulation reward thresholds raised by an antisense oligonucleotide for the M5 muscarinic receptor infused near dopamine cells.
Oligonucleotides targeting M5 muscarinic receptor mRNA were infused for 6 d into the ventral tegmental area of freely behaving rats trained to bar-press for lateral hypothalamic stimulation. The bar-pressing rate was determined at a range of frequencies each day to evaluate the effects of infusions on reward. M5 antisense oligonucleotide (oligo) infusions increased the frequency required for ba...

We investigated the subtype of presynaptic muscarinic receptors associated with inhibition of acetylcholine (ACh) release in the mouse small intestine. We measured endogenous ACh released from longitudinal muscle with myenteric plexus (LMMP) preparations obtained from M1-M5 receptor knockout (KO) mice. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) increased ACh release in all LMMP preparations obtained fr...
