The effects of conditioned fear stress (CFS) on dopamine release in the medial prefrontal cortex were studied by in vivo microdialysis in the rat. CFS (exposure to an environment in which foot-shock had been delivered previously) induced a marked suppression of motility, i.e., freezing behavior. Extracellular concentrations of dopamine in the medial prefrontal cortex were increased by CFS. The increase of dopamine returned to the pretreatment levels when rats were returned to the home cages. Diazepam (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) suppressed both the CFS-induced freezing behavior and extracellular dopamine levels in the medial prefrontal cortex. These findings suggest that anxiety and dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex might be related.
