Injections of p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) or 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (DHT) (after pretreatment with desmethylimipramine) into the rat median raphe nucleus (MRN) caused depletions of 5-HT [5-hydroxytryptamine] and 5-HIAA [5-hydroxyindole acetic acid] in the cortex and striatum, and a decrease of cortical 5-HT uptake without affecting NE [norepinephrine] uptake. Unilateral injections of these neurotoxins into the MRN caused contralateral rotation, which was blocked by haloperidol. The size of the lesion correlated with the rate of rotation and the decrease in 5-HT turnover in the cortex. A significant correlation between the rate of rotation and the decrease in cortical 5-HT turnover, and the increase in striatal DA [dopamine] turnover. There was a significant correlation between the decrease in cortical 5-HT turnover and the increase in striatal DA turnover. Injections of DHT into the SN [substantia nigra] produced similar behavioral and biochemical changes as did the MRN lesions. In this model, amphetamine and apomorphine produce turning in the same direction, whereas they have opposite effects after lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway where postsynaptic DA supersensitivity occurs. Presynaptic changes appear to determine turning in this model. An inhibitory role of the serotonergic MRN on the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway mediated via the SN is suggested.
