摘要

Many studies have shown that developmental cocaine exposure alters brain function and behavior; the present study examined the relationship between brain metabolism and behavioral responses to drug challenge. SKF 82958, a selective D1 dopamine agonist, was administered to preweaning cocaine-exposed (50 mg/kg/day) rats and controls at 60 days of age. Deoxyglucose was administered 30 min later, during the peak behavioral response, to measure brain functional activity. Pearson product-moment correlations of behavior (locomotor activity and stereotypic behavior) with rates of glucose metabolism in components of the nigrostriatal and mesolimbic circuits were analyzed. The analysis revealed that under saline-challenge conditions in control animals, rates of metabolism in mesolimbic regions are positively correlated to rates of locomotor activity, whereas in cocaine-treated rats, these correlations were absent. Following SKF challenge, a different pattern was seen; locomotor activity or stereotypic behavior was not correlated with mesolimbic or nigrostriatal metabolism, respectively, in controls but was positively correlated in cocaine-treated rats. Therefore, cocaine exposure during development enhances the coupling of metabolism in components of the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal dopamine systems with the behavioral output associated with these systems under drug-challenge conditions. This may be due to loss of inhibitory influences within the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal systems. Thus, the correlation of behavior and cerebral glucose metabolism provides a unique way of examining the effect of developmental cocaine exposure.
