The present study has investigated the effect of chronic intra-accumbens administration of the thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, CG3509, on CG3509- and histamine-induced spontaneous motor activity and brain TRH-like immunoreactive (TRH-LI) levels n the rat. Chronic intra-accumbens administration of CG3509 (5 .times. 5 .mu.g over 3 days) induced: (a) a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in intra-accumbens CG3509 (0.5 .mu.g)-induced hyperactivity, (b) reduced levels of TRH-LI in the nucleus accumbens but not other brain regions, (c) a marked increase (107% P < 0.01) in histamine-induced non-locomotor hyperactivity. The present results demonstrate that alteration of central TRH function following treatment with a TRH analogue enhances the effect of intra-accumbens histamine on behavioural hyperactivity, possibly via changes in H1 receptors and suggest that the neuropeptide, TRH and histamine interact in behavioural arousal mechanisms in rat brain.
