Hippocampal and striatal extracellular acetylcholine levels were monitored in conscious rats using the technique of intracerebral dialysis. Scopolamine (1 mg/kg, i.p.) resulted in a marked increase of acetylcholine release in both regions whereas the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue MK-771 (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) only increased acetylcholine release in the hippocampus. The relevance of the present findings in relation to the known cognitive enhancing effects of TRH analogues is discussed.

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D000928 Antidepressive Agents Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.
