OBJECTIVE Using fast cyclic voltammetry (FCV) and carbon fibre microelectrode (CFMe), we monitored dopamine (DA) release from caudate putamen(CPu), nucleus accumbens(Acb) and central amygdaloid nucleus(CAN) of normal rats in vivo, in order to find out the suitable parameters to evoke DA release of certain area. DA release was evoked by electrical stimulation of medial forebrain bundle(MFB) or ventral tegmental area(VTA). RESULTS DA release from CPu, Acb or CAN were different in contents and the characteristics of dynamics. CONCLUSIONS Different parameters should be used according to the different sites of stimulation in order to get the maximal DA release during the experiment.

D008297 Male Males
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
