摘要
The objective of this study was to examine whether the limited diffusion distance of dopamine in rat striatum produces spatial heterogeneity in the extracellular dopamine concentration on a dimensional scale of a few micrometers. Such heterogeneity would be significant because it would imply that the concentration of dopamine at a given receptor depends on the receptor's ultrastructural location. Spatially resolved measurements of extracellular dopamine were performed in the striatum of chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats with carbon fiber microdisk electrodes. Dopamine was monitored during electrical stimulation of the nigrostriatal pathway before and after administration of drugs that selectively affect the kinetics of evoked dopamine release and dopamine uptake. The effects of nomifensine (20 mg/kg), L-DOPA (250 mg/kg), and alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (250 mg/kg) on the amplitude of the stimulation responses were examined. The outcome of these experiments was compared with predictions derived from a mathematical model that combines diffusion with the kinetics of release and uptake. The results demonstrate that the extracellular dopamine concentration is spatially heterogeneous on a micrometer scale and that changing the kinetics of dopamine release and uptake has different effects on this spatial distribution. The impact of these results on brain neurochemistry is considered.
