Figure 9: Catecholamine clearance in the NAcc is governed by DAT function while catecholamine clearance in the BLA favors OCT3 activity.

Figure 9:

(A) Representative traces of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) at baseline, (B) after incubation with 30μM cocaine (COC; solid line) and after the addition of 10μM corticosterone (CORT; dashed line). (C) Traces from BLA slices at baseline, (D) after incubation with 30μM COC (solid line), and after the addition of 10μM CORT (dashed line). (E) Increases in T80 due to CORT application as a percent of post-COC clearance time revealed a greater effect of CORT on uptake inhibition in the BLA compared to the NAcc. NAcc- nucleus accumbens; BLA – basolateral amygdala; COC - cocaine (COC) CORT - corticosterone CORT; *p<0.05. N=7–10 animals/group.
