The role of dopamine D 1 and D 2 receptor stimulation in the production of turning behaviour in rats was studied. In rats pretreated with unilateral injections of the non-selective dopamine D 1 D 2 receptor antagonist, cis (Z)-flupentixol (10 μ g 0.5 μ l), into the ventral striatum, quinpirole (1, 3, 5, 10 mg/kg ip), a selective dopamine D 2 receptor agonist, induced dose-dependent turning behaviour, while SKF 38393 (1, 3, 5, 10 mg/kg ip), a selective dopamine D 1 receptor agonist, did not. The effect of the two drugs together was much greater than the effect of quinpirole alone and was reduced by additional blockade of dopamine D 1 D 2 receptors in either the ipsilateral or contralateral nucleus accumbens. The role of the nucleus accumbens in turning behaviour was determined from the effects of unilateral injections of SKF 38393 and quinpirole into the nucleus accumbens in turning results show that unilateral injections of a mixture of the two drugs (SKF 38393 5 μg+ quinpirole 10 μg/0.5 μl) into the nucleus accumbens produced turning while injections of single drugs did not. Turning was abolished by the blockade of dopamine D 1 D 2 receptors in the ipsilateral but not contralateral ventral striatum. Turning was also reduced by the blockade of the contralateral nucleus accumbens. Moreover, turning was not produced by injections of the drug mixture into the dorsal or ventral striatum.
