Figure 2. Comparison of dopamine response in the NAc to norepinephrine response in the vBNST.

Figure 2

Individual dopamine (dotted line) trace in the NAc and norepinephrine (solid line) trace in the vBNST as a function of stimulation frequency (10, 20, 40, and 60 Hz) at 60 pulses (a), pulse number (10, 40, 80, and 120) at 60 Hz (b) and pulse width (0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ms) (c) are shown. Electrical stimulation is indicated with the solid red bars under the traces. Maximal catecholamine responses in the NAc and the vBNST as a function of stimulation frequency (d), pulse number (e) and pulse width (f). Relative responses in (d), (e) and (f) are the monitored response ([CA]x) divided by the maximum response ([CA]max). *indicates significantly different from the evoked dopamine in the NAc (P < 0.05).
