Dose-response effects of microinjections of SAL into the pVTA on extracellular levels of DA in the AcbSh. Microdialysis time-course data (left panel) are presented as means (± SEMs) percent baseline levels. Bar indicates microinjection period, microinjections were given 3 times a min over the first 10 min of sample 3. Area under the curve (AUC) data (right panel) are presented as means (± SEMs) area under the curve. * 0.3 µM SAL (n = 6) significantly greater (p < 0.05) than all other groups, ^ 3.0 (n = 5), 1.0 (n = 8), and 0.3 µM SAL treatment groups significantly greater (p < 0.05) than 0.03 µM SAL (n = 8) and aCSF (n = 7) groups, + mean area under the curve for 1.0 and 3.0 µM SAL groups significantly greater than 0.03 and aCSF groups (p < 0.05).
