The involvement of dopaminergic (DA) and serotonergic (5-HT) systems in circling was assessed by determining the neurochemical correlates of circling induced and maintained by two different schedules of water reinforcement. The conditioned circling paradigm was employed in an attempt to replicate reports that levels of DA and 3,4- dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) were increased in the striatum and nucleus accumbens septi (NAS) contralateral to the direction of circling. Rats trained to circle using a continuous schedule of reinforcement did not exhibit any changes in concentrations of DA, DOPAC, or homovanillic acid (HVA). Bilateral increases in 5-HT concentrations were observed in the striatum. Use of an intermittent schedule of reinforcement (FR-2) produced higher rates of circling. In rats maintained on the FR-2 schedule, no changes in DA or its metabolites were observed in the striatum. The ratio of HVA to DA was, however, increased bilaterally, suggesting a bilateral augmentation of DA utilization. Concentrations of DA were lower in the NAS contralateral to direction of turning. While NAS levels of HVA were elevated bilaterally when compared to non-circling controls, HVA was lower in the NAS contralateral to the direction of circling. DA utilization, as estimated by HVA: DA ratios, was increased bilaterally in the NAS. None of the measures of DA activity within the olfactory tubercle (OT) were influenced by circling. Turnover of 5-HT, as estimated by the ratio of 5-HT to 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), was increased bilaterally in the striatum, NAS, and OT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
