Adolescents are often described as “lacking brakes” resulting in an increase in several behaviors associated with risk for addiction. Prefrontal cortex dopamine and cortico-limbic interaction play an important role in addiction, and we have previously shown that the dopamine D1 receptor is elevated on prelimbic prefrontal output neurons in adolescent rats. We hypothesized that a constellation of risk-related behaviors are mediated by prefrontal output neuron expression of D1. We aimed to determine the role of the dopamine D1 receptor in behavioral and neural correlates of risk for addiction that are often observed in adolescents. Therefore high-risk behaviors as well as subcortical D2 receptor expression were investigated in adult animals with experimentally elevated D1 on prefrontal glutamatergic neurons. A lentiviral vector that selectively expressed the D1 receptor within glutamate neurons was injected in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex of adult male rats. Place conditioning to cocaine, alcohol, and nicotine, as well as delay discounting, novelty preferences, anxiety, cocaine self-administration, and sucrose preferences were assessed. Virally-mediated D1 overexpression in adults leads to stronger drug-cue associations, greater consumption of sweet solutions, elevates bias towards immediate satisfaction rather than delaying gratification, decreases anxiety and causes rats to work harder for and take more cocaine. Furthermore elevated cortical D1 reduces D2 receptors in the accumbens (a putative risk marker). Together, these data suggest a common mechanism for increased motivational drive to seek and consume substances with hedonic value, consistent with adolescent addictive processes.
