As revealed by the changes in dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels and in the DOPAC/Dopamine (DA) ratio, DA utilization was markedly enhanced in the nucleus accumbens and reduced in the prefrontal cortex of rats five days after the electrolytic lesions of the median raphe. These opposite effects were not seen any more seventeen days after the injection. These results suggest that neurones originating from the median raphe and projecting to the ventral tegmental area exert an opposite effect on the activity of DA cells innervating the nucleus accumbens and on those projecting to the prefrontal cortex.
