RationaleThe affective aspects ofd-amphetamine (AMPH) may be mediated, in part, by cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptides in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). The formation of context-drug associations produces either conditioned place preference (CPP) or conditioned place aversion (CPA).ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to determine whether intra-BLA infusions of CART 55–102 are either rewarding or aversive and modulate AMPH reward.Materials and methodsRats were implanted with bilateral cannulae in the BLA, were subjected to place conditioning, and were tested for CPP or CPA. Rats were conditioned with either intra-BLA infusions of artificial cerebral spinal fluid or one of three dose of CART 55–102 (1, 2, or 4 μg/side), intra-BLA infusions of a subrewarding dose of CART 55–102 (1 μg/side) plus injections of a subrewarding dose of AMPH (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.), or intra-BLA infusions of an aversive dose of CART 55–102 (4 μg/side) plus injections of a rewarding dose of AMPH (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.).ResultsIntra-BLA infusions of 2 μg/side CART 55–102 produced CPP, 4 μg/side produced CPA, and 1 μg/side produced neither CPP nor CPA. Intra-BLA infusions of a subrewarding dose of CART 55–102 (1 μg/side) plus injections of a subrewarding dose of AMPH (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) produced CPP. Intra-BLA infusions of an aversive dose of CART 55–102 (4 μg/side) plus injections of a rewarding dose of AMPH (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) produced neither CPP nor CPA.ConclusionsBoth the affective properties of intra-BLA CART 55–102 and its ability to either facilitate or block AMPH reward are dose dependent.
