Chronic administration of halopendol (2 mg/kg x 2t days) m dnnklng water decreased basal dopamme (DA) release and metabolism m rat stnatum and nucleus accumbens m awake, freely moving rats In contrast with previous m vwo voltammetnc studies in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats, DA release and metabolism decreased in both regions following administration of (-)apomorphme (50 pg/kg, 1 v ) These results demonstrate that stimulation of pre- or postsynaptic DA receptors by apomorphme in rats chronically treated with halopendol further diminishes the release of DA and decreases DA metabolism These results are difficult to reconcde with current concepts of neuroleptlc-mduced depolarization inactivation which predict increased release of DA following DA agomst administration Electrophyslological studies have shown that longt e r m t r e a t m e n t with neurolepttc drugs induces depolarization block in d o p a m l n e ( D A ) neurons with cells of o n g m in the substantla m g r a pars c o m p a c t a (A9) and ventral t e g m e n t a l a r e a (A10) 4 5,9 22 23,26,27 The decrease m s p o n t a n e o u s l y active D A cells in the A10 region might be r e l a t e d to the antipsychottc effect of neurolepttc drugs, whereas the reduction in the n u m b e r of spontaneously active A 9 cells could be causally related to the d e v e l o p m e n t of e x t r a p y r a m i d a l side-effects 9 It has also been suggested that the haloperldol ( H A L ) - l n d u c e d d e p o l a r i z a t i o n block of the A 9 and A10 D A neurons might occur at the level of the cell b o d y or axon, or both, which would then alter D A release In neuron terminals O n the o t h e r hand, in vitro studtes suggest that chronic c l o z a p m e a d m m l s t r a t i o n m a y affect D A release in the s t n a t u m , but not the nucleus accumbens, by an action at the c a r r i e r - m e d i a t e d D A release mechanism m the t e r m m a l region 7 A u t o r e c e p t o r - s e l e c t w e doses of the direct-acting D A agonlst a p o m o r p h l n e causes D A cells in chronically n e u r o l e p U c - t r e a t e d rats to repolarlze and regam the ability to g e n e r a t e s p o n t a n e o u s s p i k e s 4 9 26 27 A p o m o r p h m e also r e v e r s e d the chronic H A L - i n d u c e d decrease in D A release m both the rat strlatum and nucleus accumbens and r e s t o r e d D A release to control levels as d e m o n s t r a t e d by in vlvo v o l t a m m e t r y 3'16 H o w e v e r , these results were o b t a i n e d in chloral hydrate anesthetized animals Recently, it has been shown that general

here During the first 60 mln atter injection, the decrease m D A release m both groups was virtually identical in each of the regions D A effiux levels gradually recovered to the pre-drug basal levels at 100 mln in both brain regions in the vehicle-treated groups H o w e v e r , lower D A effiux levels persisted in the H A L - t r e a t e d groups A N O V A revealed significant differences at specific later time periods between the vehicle- and H A L - t r e a t e d rats (Fig 1) We confirmed our previous r e p o r t ~ and some electrophyslological studies 3 ~ ~' that basal D A release is lowered in both the striatum and the nucleus accumbens after chronic H A L t r e a t m e n t The percentage decrease m basal D A release in both regions r e p o r t e d here is virtually identified w~th that r e p o r t e d by Lane and Biaha 1~ using in VlVO v o l t a m m e t r y We also observed reduced basal etflux of D O P A C and H V A in both regions (Table I) D O P A C is r e g a r d e d as an indicator ot m t r a n e u r o n a l D A metabolism because D O P A C is derived from an intraneuronal pool ot newly synthesized D A or results from o v e r p r o d u c t i o n ot non-released lntraneuronal D A ~° Chronic H A L administration had no effect on basal 5 - H I A A effiux in either region The finding that chronic H A L t r e a t m e n t decreases basal D A release and m e t a b o h s m in both the strlatum and the nucleus accumbens is c o m p a t i b l e with the hypothesis of depolarization block in both A 9 and A I 0 D A neurons H o w e v e r , o t h e r In vivo mlcrodlalysts studies have r e p o r t e d differing results Thus chronic H A L t r e a t m e n t was r e p o r t e d to increase basal D A release in the striatum ~°, to decrease basal D A release and m e t a b o h s m in the prefrontal cortex but not the nucleus accumbens, and to decrease D O P A C and H V A onl'~ in the strlatum ~° F u r t h e r investigation is n e e d e d to reconcile these discrepant results The concept of d e p o l a r i z a t i o n block is s u p p o r t e d by previous reports that a p o m o r p h l n e , in doses c o m p a r a b l e to those used here, which are believed to be autorecep-

a p o m o r p h l n e rapidly hyperpolarlzes D A

neurons, including the population of D A n e u r o n s not previously inactivated by depolarization 9 This would be

aptic D 2 D A receptors' supersensitivity The failure to reverse the decrease in D A release in both the striatum and nucleus accumbens folJowmg a p o m o r p h m e cannot be due to the use of too low a dose of a p o m o r p h l n e The dose used here, 50 ktg/kg, 1 v of

expected to further decrease D A release The difference in the effect of a p o m o r p h m e on D A release in this study and that of Lane and Blaha 15 could be due to the effect of anesthesia on the extent of repolarizatlon of the cell

m e m b r a n e This inactivation of a larger group of D A n e u r o n s by a hyperpolarlzatlon mechanism could occur

H A L we used, 2 m g / k g / d a y , was considerably higher than that employed by these authors However, the tissue levels of H A L at the time this study was conducted, were apparently not sufficiently high to block the effect of apomorphlne The results reported here illustrate an important issue concerning data analys~s in chronic treatment studies using In wvo mIcrodmlysis It is standard procedure to report the results of microdlalysls studies as a percentage of pre-drug basal D A levels, as was done here However, when slgmficant differences between pre-drug basal D A levels between groups are present, as was the case for the chronic H A L - t r e a t e d rats compared to the vehicletreated controls, the smaller absolute decrease in D A effiux In the H A L - t r e a t e d rats might be interpreted as evidence for subsensltlvlty of D A receptors rather than supersensitivity, as concluded on the basis of the percentage decrease m basal D A effiux Since there is no evidence consistent w~th the development of subsens~t~v~ty of D A autoreceptors or postsynaptlc D A receptors following chronic neuroleptlc treatment, the practice of expressing In VlVO dmlysls results as percentage change m D A efflux Is likely to be vahd, at least m this case B u n n e y and colleagues 4 9 have previously shown, using

vm actions at supersenslttve somatodendritlC autoreceptors A p o m o r p h l n e could also further decrease D A release by an i n d e p e n d e n t effect at supersensitive terminal autoreceptors ~9 A n o t h e r posslblhty to explain our results is that a p o m o r p h i n e might increase the firing rate of D A n e u r o n s by repolarlzatlon but still decrease the release of D A by an action at supersensttlve terminal D A autoreceptors It seems unlikely that the results found here should be taken as evidence against the depolarization Inactivation hypothesis, although there are other data 2 which are not consistent with the hypothesis These results suggest a rationale for the reported abdlty of apomorphine or other D A agonlsts such as bromocrlptlne to produce a synergistic antlpsychotlc effect xn some neuroleptlc-treated schlzophremc patients l~ The DA-agonlsts might further decrease D A release xn the striatum and nucleus accumbens In summary, we have found that chromc H A L treatment decreased basal D A release and metabolism m the strlatum and the nucleus accumbens in awake, freely moving rats This decrease in D A release was enhanced rather than reversed by low dose i v a p o m o r p h l n e This suggests that the mechanisms controlhng D A release can be affected by DA-agonlsts i n d e p e n d e n t l y ot any possible depolarization block produced by chronic H A L treatment No m a j o r differences were found in the effect of chromc H A L followed by a p o m o r p h l n e on the efflux of D A , D O P A C or H V A in the s t n a t u m and nucleus accumbens consistent with previous evidence that chromc H A L treatment produces similar effects in both regions

extracellular and Intracellular recording techmques, that systemic a p o m o r p h m e causes D A neurons inactivated by chronic H A L administration to increase their firing rate A p o m o r p h m e has been shown to decrease the firing rate of D A n e u r o n s in naive rats s These findings, together with the a p o m o r p h l n e - m d u c e d increase in D A release in rats chronically treated with H A L is , has been advanced as evidence for the depolarization Inactivation hypothesis 9 The effects of a p o m o r p h m e m H A L - p r e t r e a t e d rats were interpreted as due to repolarlzatlon of the depolarized n e u r o n s Our finding that in awake, freely moving rats previously treated with H A L , apomorphlne further
