title: Glutamatergic control of dopamine release during stress in the rat prefrontal cortex.
abstract: In vivo microdialysis was used to assess the hypothesis that the stress-induced increase in dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex is mediated by stress-activated glutamate neurotransmission in this region. Local perfusion of an alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA)/kainate receptor antagonist, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, blocked the stress-induced increase in dopamine levels, whereas an NMDA receptor antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid, at the dose tested, was not able to alter this response significantly. These data indicate that the effect of stress on dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex is mediated locally by activation of AMPA/kainate receptors, which modulate the release of dopamine in this region.
