Measurement of drug- and stimulation-induced changes in the electrical excitability of dopaminergic terminals was employed to assess the effects of stimulation of dopamine terminal autoreceptors in the prefrontal cortex in urethane-anesthetized rats. Systemic or local administration of amphetamine decreased, whereas systemic administration of haloperidol increased the excitability of prefrontal cortical dopaminergic terminals of ventral tegmental area dopaminergic neurons. Mesoprefrontal dopaminergic terminal excitability was also responsive to spontaneous and stimulation-induced alterations in the rate of impulses reaching the terminal fields. These results are comparable to those previously reported for nigrostriatal and mesoaccumbens dopaminergic neurons, and are discussed with regard to the operational characteristics of autoinhibition in the mesocortical dopaminergic system.
