pubmed:abstractText |
Kindling of the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a major source of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, was examined in rats. We applied two quantitative measurements of dopamine sensitivity before and 2 weeks after VTA kindling (20 times electrical stimulations (100 microA at 1 min intervals) delivered once per day for 14 consecutive days): behavioral responses induced by test VTA stimulation and methamphetamine (MAP)-induced locomotor activity. The total amount of MAP-induced locomotor activity was significantly increased after VTA kindling, while the responses to electrical stimulation were unchanged. These results indicate that repeated activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system can produce a neuroplastic change, which results in dopamine supersensitivity.
