Approach behavior is regulated by the brain integrating information about environment and body state. Psychoactive drugs interact with this process. We examined the extent to which caloric (i.e., food) restriction, amphetamine and lithium interact in potentiating locomotor activity and responding reinforced by visual stimulus (VS), a reward unrelated to energy homeostasis. Rats either had ad-libitum access to food or received daily rations that maintained 85-90% of their original body weights. Leverpressing turned on a cue light for 1 sec and turned off house light for 5 sec. Amphetamine and lithium were administered through intraperitoneal injections and diet, respectively. Food-restriction or amphetamine (1 mg/kg) alone had little effect on VS-reinforced responding; however, the combination of the two conditions markedly potentiated VS-reinforced responding (4-fold). Food restriction lasting 7 days or longer was needed to augment amphetamine’s effect on VS-reinforced responding. Amphetamine (0.3 – 3 mg/kg) potentiated locomotor activity similarly between food-restricted and ad-libitum groups. Repeated injections of amphetamine sensitized locomotor activity, but not VS-reinforced responding. In addition, while chronic lithium treatments (0.2% lithium carbonate chow) reduced VS-reinforced responding, chronic lithium further augmented amphetamine-potentiated VS-reinforced responding. Food-restriction interacts with psychoactive drugs to potentiate goal-directed responding unrelated to food-seeking in a much more powerful manner than previously thought. The novel finding that lithium can augment a psychostimulant effect of amphetamine suggests caution when combining lithium and psychostimulant drugs in clinical settings.
