Abstract The present study was undertaken to examine the possible involvement of cortical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neuronal mechanisms in the regional differences of dopamine (DA) response to psychological stress: contextual fear conditioning (CFC) in the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS). Rats that received five footshocks (shock intensity, 0.5 mA; shock duration, 2 sec) were subjected to CFC and dynamic changes in DA and GABA in both PFC and DLS were examined using dual-probe microdialysis. Extracellular levels of DA in the PFC were enhanced during exposure to CFC, whereas the levels in the DLS were not affected by this stimulus. Extracellular levels of GABA in the PFC, but not in the DLS, were markedly enhanced by CFC. Freezing behavior observed during exposure to CFC was attenuated by the GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline (10(-3) M), which was perfused into the PFC. Intracortical application of bicuculline (10(-3) M) furthermore caused sustained increases in DA levels in the DLS by CFC. These data suggest that cortical GABA(A) receptors contribute to modulation of DA release in the DLS in response to CFC. Thus, the GABAergic neuronal system in the PFC appears to play a key role in the regional differences of the DAergic response to psychological stress.
