摘要

Abstract Behavioural flexibility is crucial for adaptive behaviour, and recent evidence suggests that cholinergic interneurons of the striatum play a distinct role. Previous studies of cholinergic function have focused on strategy switching by the dorsomedial or ventral striatum. We here investigated whether cholinergic interneurons in the dorsolateral striatum play a similar role at the level of switching of habitual responses. Because the dorsolateral striatum is particularly involved in habitual responding, we developed a habit substitution task that involved switching habitual leverpress responses to one side to another. We first measured the effect of cholinergic activation in the dorsolateral striatum on this task. Chemogenetic activation of cholinergic interneurons caused an increase in the response rate for the substituted response that was significantly greater than the increase normally seen in control animals. The increase was due to burstlike responses with shorter interpress intervals. However, there was no effect on inhibiting the old habit, or on habitual responding that did not require a switch. There was also no effect on leverpress performance and its reversal before leverpress responses became habitual. Conversely, neurochemically specific ablation of cholinergic interneurons did not significantly change habitual responding or response substitution. Thus, activation but not ablation of cholinergic interneurons in the dorsolateral striatum modulates expression of a new habit when an old habit is replaced by a new one. Together with previous work, this suggests that striatal cholinergic interneurons facilitate behavioural flexibility in both dorsolateral striatum in addition to dorsomedial and ventral striatum.
