Background and PurposePrefrontal dopamine release by the combined activation of 5‐HT1Aand sigma‐1 (σ1) receptors is enhanced by the GABAAreceptor antagonist picrotoxin in mice. Here, we examined whether this neurochemical event was accompanied by behavioural changes.Experimental ApproachMale mice were treated with picrotoxin to decrease GABAAreceptor function. Their anhedonic behaviour was measured using the female encounter test. The expression of c‐Fos was determined immunohistochemically.Key ResultsPicrotoxin caused an anxiogenic effect on three behavioural tests, but it did not affect the immobility time in the forced swim test. Picrotoxin decreased female preference in the female encounter test and attenuated the female encounter‐induced increase in c‐Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens. Picrotoxin‐induced anhedonia was ameliorated by fluvoxamine andS‐(+)‐fluoxetine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with high affinity for the σ1receptor. The effect of fluvoxamine was blocked by a 5‐HT1Aor a σ1receptor antagonist, and co‐administration of the σ1receptor agonist (+)‐SKF‐10047 and the 5‐HT1Areceptor agonist osemozotan mimicked the effect of fluvoxamine. By contrast, desipramine, duloxetine and paroxetine, which have little affinity for the σ1receptor, did not affect picrotoxin‐induced anhedonia. The effect of fluvoxamine was blocked by a dopamine D2/3receptor antagonist. Methylphenidate, an activator of the prefrontal dopamine system, ameliorated picrotoxin‐induced anhedonia.Conclusion and ImplicationsPicrotoxin‐treated mice show anhedonic behaviour that is ameliorated by simultaneous activation of 5‐HT1Aand σ1receptors. These findings suggest that the increased prefrontal dopamine release is associated with the anti‐anhedonic effect observed in picrotoxin‐treated mice.
