Previously, we demonstrated that continuous exposure of rats to cold (5 degrees C) for 2-3 weeks potentiates the increase in extracellular norepinephrine in the medial prefrontal cortex produced by acute tail shock. In the present study, we used in vivo microdialysis to examine whether this sensitization of evoked norepinephrine release also occurs in the medial prefrontal cortex following exposure to other chronic stress protocols. Rats exposed to 30 min of intermittent foot shock (0.6 mA) each day for 14 days, did not exhibit a greater increase in extracellular norepinephrine in response to acute tail shock. To determine whether this discrepancy between cold exposure and foot shock might be related to differences in the nature or the pattern of exposure to the chronic stressor, we also examined the effect of intermittent exposure to cold or continuous exposure to a foot shock protocol on tail shock-evoked norepinephrine release. Sensitized norepinephrine release did not develop following either intermittent exposure to cold (5 degrees C; 4 h/day for 14 days) or continuous exposure to a foot shock protocol (0.6 mA trains at random intervals 24 h/day for 14 days), suggesting that both the nature of the stressor as well as the pattern of exposure to the chronic stressor play a role in the development of sensitized norepinephrine release.
