Amphetamine facilitates the release of dopamine from nerve terminals, but the mechanisms underlying this effect have not been fully delineated. The present experiments were designed to test the extent to which amphetamine‐induced dopamine release is dependent on impulse flow and autoreceptor function in dopaminergic neurons. Rats were pretreated with a low dose of apomorphine (0.05 mg/kg) to inhibit dopamine neuronal activity, and the striatal dopaminergic response to amphetamine (0.5 mg/kg) was assessed by in vivo dialysis in freely moving animals. Consistent with previous results, apomorphine alone substantially decreased, whereas amphetamine increased, striatal dialysate dopamine concentrations. However, whereas apomorphine pretreatment decreased the locomotor response to amphetamine, the amphetamine‐induced increase in dialysate dopamine was unaffected. These results indicate that amphetamine‐facilitated dopamine release is independent of neuronal firing and autoreceptor regulation, consistent with the putative accelerative exchange‐diffusion mechanism of amphetamine‐induced dopamine release. Other possible mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of apomorphine on amphetamine locomotor activation are discussed.
