Outline of Final Research Achievements

Microdyalysis in the prefrontalcortex (PFC) and cystometrography (CMG) were performed under consciousness. Experiment 1: Extracellular neurotransmitters were collected by microdyalysis. At the same time, CMG were performed to measure intercontraction interval (ICI) and maximum voiding pressure (MVP). Experiment 2: SSRI was administered into the PFC. Experiment 3: Following SSRI administration, 5-HT1A agonist, which has the effect of decreasing the level of serotonin (5-HT) in the PFC, was administered into the PFC. Ex. 1: Extracellular level of 5-HT in the PFC significantly increased during micturition reflex, whereas levels of glutamate or dopamine were not significantly changed. Ex. 2: The 5-HT level increased. It also significantly increased ICI, whereas no significant change was found in MVP. Ex. 3: The 5-HT decreased, thereby ICI significantly decreased. The results suggest that the PFC has a suppressive effect on neural control of the micturition reflex via serotonin.
