The effect of 6-OHDA lesions of the lateral septum on schedule-induced polydipsia. 1985

K Taghzouti, and H Simon, and A Tazi, and R Dantzer, and M Le Moal

In this study the relationship between 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of dopaminergic innervation of the lateral septum and schedule-induced polydipsia was examined. Animals with lesions were found to have a significant increase in water intake during a test involving an intermittent schedule of food delivery. Additional experiments with these animals showed that lesions had no effect on: (i) spontaneous drinking, the amount of drinking after 24 h food or water deprivation, water intake following a hypertonic saline challenge; (ii) eating behavior with or without food deprivation; and (iii) spontaneous locomotor activity. This increase in adjunctive behavior is discussed in the light of an enhanced frustrative effect induced by the septal lesions.

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.
