It has been well documentated that a variety of stressful stimuli cause increases in noradrenaline ( N A ) release in the brain regions of rodents.'.' Attempts have been made to clarify the physiological significance of enhancement of the neuronal activity of the brain NA system. These changes have been considered to be related to functions of the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system. Moreover, there has been a hypothesis that neuronal activation of the brain NA system-in particular, the locus coeruleus (LC)-has an important role in the provocation of anxiety and/or fear: the NA hypothesis of anxiety.'-' Recently, 0-carbolines have been reported to cause anxiety in humans,10," and behaviors suggestive of anxiety in and rat^.'^.'^ The neurochemical effects of these drugs might be closely related to the fundamental mechanism of provocation of anxiety and/or fear. Since an increasing number of people suffer from anxiety,I6 it is very important to clarify the neurochemical mechanism of anxiety and the pharmacological mechanism of anxiolytic drugs for the treatment of these patients. This report focuses on the characterization of increases in NA release in rat brain regions caused by several different stresses and the pharmacological modifications and significance of these increases-in particular, their relationship to benzodiazepine anxiolytics and opioid agents. In the rat brain, cell bodies of NA-containing neurons are located mainly in the locus coeruleus and the lateral tegmental areas, from which the nerve fibers are projected to the whole brain regions." NA released by nerve impulse flow is finally metabolized to 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) or 3,4-dihydrox-
