Striatal glutamate release during novelty exposure-induced hyperactivity was studied by microdialysis in freely-moving olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) rats. After collecting three 10 min basal striatal dialysate samples, the animals were transferred to an open-field apparatus (novelty) and locomotor activity recorded for 60 min. OBX rats showed significantly more locomotor activity (1210+/-270 cm) than sham-operated rats (420+/-70 cm), but only in the first 10 min after exposure to the novel environment. During the same period, striatal glutamate levels increased to 163+/-21% of the basal value in OBX rats, while no changes were seen in the striatum of sham-operated controls. These findings suggest that olfactory bulbectomy results in an increased response of the striatal glutamatergic system to novelty stress, and may consequently cause hyperactivity.
