The behavioral syndrome produced by phencyclidine (PCP) and its analog ketamine represents a pharmacological model for some aspects of schizophrenia. Despite the multifaceted properties of these drugs, the main mechanism for their psychotomimetic and cognitive-impairing effects has been thought heretofore to involve the corticolimbic dopamine system. The present study examined the temporal relationship between alterations in corticolimbic dopamine and glutamate neurotransmission and two dopamine-dependent behavioral effects of PCP in the rodent that have relevance to the clinical phenomenology, namely, impairment of working memory, which is used to model the frontal lobe deficits associated with schizophrenia, and hyperlocomotion, which is used as a predictor of the propensity of a drug to elicit or exacerbate psychosis. PCP increased dopamine and glutamate efflux in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, as measured by microdialysis. The increase in dopamine in both regions remained elevated well above baseline 2.5 hr after the injection, at which time the experiment was terminated. However, locomotor activity returned to baseline in
