Methylphenidate (MPH), a psychostimulant drug for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), produces the effects of increasing alertness and improving attention, while its misuse has been associated with an increased risk of aggression and psychosis. In this study, we sought to determine the molecular mechanism underlying the complex actions of MPH. Adolescent (4-week-old) rats were given one injection of MPH at different doses. The impact of MPH on glutamatergic signaling in pyramidal neurons of prefrontal cortex (PFC) was measured. MPH-induced behavioral changes were also examined in parallel. We found that administration of low-dose (0.5 mg/kg) MPH selectively potentiated NMDAR-mediated excitatory synaptic currents (EPSCs) via adrenergic receptor activation, while the high-dose (10 mg/kg) MPH suppressed both NMDAR- and AMPAR-EPSCs. The dual effects of MPH on EPSCs were associated with bi-directional changes in the surface level of glutamate receptor subunits. Behavioral tests also indicated that low-dose MPH facilitated the PFC-mediated temporal order recognition memory (TORM) and attention, while animals injected with high-dose MPH exhibited significantly elevated locomotive activity. Inhibiting the function of SNAP-25, a key SNARE proteins involved in NMDAR exocytosis, blocked the increase of NMDAR-EPSC by low-dose MPH. In animals exposed to repeated stress, administration of low-dose MPH effectively restored NMDAR function and TORM via a mechanism dependent on SNAP-25. Our results have provided a potential mechanism underlying the cognitive enhancing effects of low-dose MPH, as well as the psychosis-inducing effects of high-dose MPH.
