Research Abstract |
Oral dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome which is characterized by the repetitive stereotyped oral movement. The detailed biological basis of the disorder remains unclear, but the behavioural studies suggest that the accumbal dopaminergic neurons play a pivotal role for the induction of repetitive jaw movements of rats. It is known that there exists a close noradrenaline-dopamine interaction within this nucleus. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the mechanisms of the regulation of accumbal dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity in freely moving rats, using the in vivo brain microdialysis technique.
