Extracellular dopamine changes detected in the dorsal striatum, NAc core and shell of anesthetized rats in response to tail pinch. (A) Maximal dopamine concentrations observed after tail pinch. The time between detected dopamine release and onset of the tail pinch in each region is also presented. Data are means ± SEM of 6 rats per group. (B) Representative dopamine efflux detected in the dorsal striatum (upper), NAc core (middle) and shell (bottom) from individual animals. The black bar denotes the application of the tail pinch.
