Striatal c-fos levels and stereotyped behavior have been evaluated in chronically haloperidol-treated rats which received subsequent subacute dopamine (DA) agonist treatment to investigate the possible relationship between striatal c-fos and behavioral supersensitivity. Haloperidol treatment (1 mg/kg/day for 21 days) increased apomorphine-induced stereotypies but did not modify striatal c-fos levels. The subacute administration of the DA D-1 agonist SKF38393 (10 mg/kg/day for 5 days) and the combination of the D-1 agonist with the D-2 agonist quinpirole (1 mg/kg/day for 5 days) attenuated apomorphine-induced stereotypies after haloperidol pretreatment. The administration of quinpirole alone, however, did not modify the response to haloperidol. All DA agonists significantly increased c-fos levels after apomorphine injection. The dissociation between haloperidol-induced behavioral supersensitivity and striatal c-fos levels observed in this study suggests that mechanisms different from striatal c-fos induction might be involved, and that striatal c-fos levels are not a good marker of behavioral supersensitivity expression.
