ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:33563-33573. [PMID: 39130585 PMCID: PMC11307285 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c01322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter present within the animal brain that is responsible for a wide range of physiologic functions, including motivation, reward, and movement control. Changes or dysfunction in the dynamics of DA release are thought to play a pivotal role in regulating various physiological and behavioral processes, as well as leading to neuropsychiatric diseases. Therefore, it is of fundamental interest to neuroscientists to understand and accurately model the kinetics that govern dopaminergic neurotransmission. In the past several decades, many mathematical models have been proposed to attempt to capture the biologic parameters that govern dopaminergic kinetics, with each model seeking to improve upon a previous model. In this review, each of these models are derived, and the ability of each model to properly fit two fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) data sets will be demonstrated and discussed. The dopamine oxidation current in both FSCV data sets exhibits hang-up and overshoot behaviors, which have traditionally been difficult for mathematical models to capture. We show that more recent models are better able to model DA release that exhibits these behaviors but that no single model is clearly the best. Rather, models should be selected based on their mathematical properties to best fit the FSCV data one is trying to model. Developing such differential equation models to describe the kinetics of DA release from the synapse confers significant applications both for advancing scientific understanding of DA neurotransmission and for advancing clinical ability to treat neuropsychiatric diseases.

Abstract
The neurochemical transmitter dopamine (DA) is implicated in a number of diseases states, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and drug abuse. DA terminal fields in the dorsal striatum and core region of the nucleus accumbens in the rat brain are organized as heterogeneous domains exhibiting fast and slow kinetic of DA release. The rates of dopamine release are significantly and substantially faster in the fast domains relative to the slow domains. The striatum is composed of a mosaic of spatial compartments known as the striosomes (patches) and the matrix. Extensive literature exists on the spatial organization of the patch and matrix compartments and their functions. However, little is known about these compartments as they relate to fast and slow kinetic DA domains observed by fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV). Thus, we combined high spatial resolution of FSCV with detailed immunohistochemical analysis of these architectural compartments (patch and matrix) using fluorescence microscopy. Our findings demonstrated a direct correlation between patch compartments with fast domain DA kinetics and matrix compartments to slow domain DA kinetics. We also investigated the kinetic domains in two very distinct sub-regions in the striatum, the lateral dorsal striatum (LDS) and the medial dorsal striatum (MDS). The lateral dorsal striatum as opposed to the medial dorsal striatum is mainly governed by fast kinetic DA domains. These finding are highly relevant as they may hold key promise in unraveling the fast and slow kinetic DA domains and their physiological significance.

Abstract
Neuromodulators are critical regulators of the brain's signaling processes, and thus they are popular pharmacological targets for psychoactive therapies. It is clear that monoamine uptake mechanisms are complicated and subject to multiple uptake mechanisms. Uptake 1 describes uptake of the monoamine via its designated transporter (SERT for serotonin, NET for norepinephrine, and DAT for dopamine), whereas Uptake 2 details multiple transporter types on neurons and glia taking up different types of modulators, not necessarily specific to the monoamine. While Uptake 1 processes have been well-studied over the past few decades, Uptake 2 mechanisms have remained more difficult to study because of the limitations in methods that have the sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution to look at the subtleties in uptake profiles. In this chapter we review the different experimental approaches that have yielded important information about Uptake 2 mechanisms in vivo. The techniques (scintillation microspectrophotometry, microdialysis, chronoamperometry, and voltammetry) are described in detail, and pivotal studies associated with each method are highlighted. It is clear from these reviewed works that Uptake 2 processes are critical to consider to advance our understanding of the brain and develop effective neuropsychiatric therapies.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) modulates dopaminergic neurotransmission. It takes part in neurologic and psychiatric diseases involving monoamine neurotransmitters. Earlier results show that DHEA (120-min treatment) reduced striatal dopamine (DA) turnover in rats, suggesting a reduced DA release. Some investigations report that DHEA increases DA release but inhibits motor activity, which seems contradictory. This research examines the effect of DHEA on striatal DA release, its metabolism and motor activity. Male Wistar rats were implanted in the striatum with a cannula for in vivo microdialysis. DHEA was administered (120 mg/kg) and dialysates were collected for 280 min. A depolarizing stimulus was applied at 120 min. Samples were analyzed by HPLC-ED to determine the concentration of DA and its metabolites. The effect of DHEA on motor activity was also evaluated during 120 min. Extracellular DA concentration was greater in treated animals both before and after depolarization. In contrast, DHEA reduced the areas below the curves for DA metabolites and DA/metabolite ratios. DHEA also reduced motor activity, remarkably in the first 20 min after treatment. In summary, DHEA yielded a stimulatory effect on striatal DA release that was not reflected in neither DA metabolism nor motor activity. Thus, DHEA resembles the effect of typical antipsychotics, increasing DA release but reducing behavioral activation.

Abstract
Many debilitating neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by dopamine neurotransmitter dysregulation. Monitoring subsecond dopamine release accurately and for extended, clinically relevant timescales is a critical unmet need. Especially valuable has been the development of electrochemical fast-scan cyclic voltammetry implementing microsized carbon fiber probe implants to record fast millisecond changes in dopamine concentrations. Nevertheless, these well-established methods have only been applied in primates with acutely (few hours) implanted sensors. Neurochemical monitoring for long timescales is necessary to improve diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for a wide range of neurological disorders. Strategies for the chronic use of such sensors have recently been established successfully in rodents, but new infrastructures are needed to enable these strategies in primates. Here we report an integrated neurochemical recording platform for monitoring dopamine release from sensors chronically implanted in deep brain structures of nonhuman primates for over 100 days, together with results for behavior-related and stimulation-induced dopamine release. From these chronically implanted probes, we measured dopamine release from multiple sites in the striatum as induced by behavioral performance and reward-related stimuli, by direct stimulation, and by drug administration. We further developed algorithms to automate detection of dopamine. These algorithms could be used to track the effects of drugs on endogenous dopamine neurotransmission, as well as to evaluate the long-term performance of the chronically implanted sensors. Our chronic measurements demonstrate the feasibility of measuring subsecond dopamine release from deep brain circuits of awake, behaving primates in a longitudinally reproducible manner.

Abstract
In vivo voltammetry reveals substantial diversity of dopamine kinetics in the rat striatum. To substantiate this kinetic diversity, we evaluate the temporal distortion of dopamine measurements arising from the diffusion-limited adsorption of dopamine to voltammetric microelectrodes. We validate two mathematical procedures for correcting adsorptive distortion, both of which substantiate that dopamine's apparent kinetic diversity is not an adsorption artifact.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute doses of Sinemet® (L-DOPA combined with carbidopa) previously failed to influence prolonged exercise performance in a temperate environment, but it is not known whether acute doses of L-DOPA timed to reach maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) during exercise will improve prolonged cycling performance in warm conditions (30.2°C ± 0.2°C, 50% ± 1%). METHODS Ten physically active men (age, 26 ± 4 yr; height, 1.76 ± 0.08 m; body mass, 76.3 ± 10.6 kg; V˙O2peak, 57 ± 8 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1)) were recruited for this study. Participants cycled for 1 h at 60% V˙O2peak followed by a 30-min exercise test, during which they were instructed to complete as much work as possible. Heart rate, skin and core temperatures, as well as RPE and thermal stress were recorded throughout the exercise, and blood samples were collected at rest, at 15-min intervals during the first hour of exercise, and at the end of the exercise test. Finger tapping tests at the beginning and end of the exercise were conducted to examine fine motor control. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the work done on the placebo (314 ± 43 kJ) and L-DOPA trials (326 ± 48 kJ, P = 0.276). Prolactin concentrations were increased at the end of the exercise in all trials (P < 0.001), but this response was attenuated at the end of the exercise for the L-DOPA trial (11.4 ± 5.5 ng·mL(-1)) and placebo trials (20.8 ± 3.3 ng·mL(-1), P = 0.003). No differences between trials were found for any other measure. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that increasing central catecholamine availability inhibits the normal prolactin response to exercise in the heat but does not alter performance, thermoregulation, or sympathetic outflow.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA), a highly significant neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, operates on multiple time scales to affect a diverse array of physiological functions. The significance of DA in human health is heightened by its role in a variety of pathologies. Voltammetric measurements of electrically evoked DA release have brought to light the existence of a patchwork of DA kinetic domains in the dorsal striatum (DS) of the rat. Thus, it becomes necessary to consider how these domains might be related to specific aspects of DA's functions. Responses evoked in the fast and slow domains are distinct in both amplitude and temporal profile. Herein, we report that responses evoked in fast domains can be further classified into four distinct types, types 1-4. The DS, therefore, exhibits a total of at least five distinct evoked responses (four fast types and one slow type). All five response types conform to kinetic models based entirely on first-order rate expressions, which indicates that the heterogeneity among the response types arises from kinetic diversity within the DS terminal field. We report also that functionally distinct subregions of the DS express DA kinetic diversity in a selective manner. Thus, this study documents five response types, provides a thorough kinetic explanation for each of them, and confirms their differential association with functionally distinct subregions of this key DA terminal field. The dorsal striatum is composed of five significantly different dopamine domains (types 1-4 and slow, average ± SEM responses to medial forebrain bundle (MFB) stimulation are shown in the figure). Responses from each of these five domains exhibit significantly different ascending and descending kinetic profiles and return to a long lasting elevated dopamine state, termed the dopamine hang-up. All features of these responses are modeled with high correlation using first-order modeling as well as our recently published restricted diffusion model of evoked dopamine overflow. We also report that functionally distinct subregions of the dorsal striatum express selective dopamine kinetic diversity.

Abstract
In vivo fast-scan cyclic voltammetry provides high-fidelity recordings of electrically evoked dopamine release in the rat striatum. The evoked responses are suitable targets for numerical modeling because the frequency and duration of the stimulus are exactly known. Responses recorded in the dorsal and ventral striatum of the rat do not bear out the predictions of a numerical model that assumes the presence of a diffusion gap interposed between the recording electrode and nearby dopamine terminals. Recent findings, however, suggest that dopamine may be subject to restricted diffusion processes in brain extracellular space. A numerical model cast to account for restricted diffusion produces excellent agreement between simulated and observed responses recorded under a broad range of anatomical, stimulus, and pharmacological conditions. The numerical model requires four, and in some cases only three, adjustable parameters and produces meaningful kinetic parameter values.

Abstract
The dopamine (DA) terminal fields in the rat dorsal striatum (DS) and nucleus accumbens core (NAcc) are organized as patchworks of domains that exhibit distinct kinetics of DA release and clearance. The present study used fast-scan cyclic voltammetry recordings of electrically evoked DA overflow to test the hypothesis that nomifensine might exhibit domain-dependent actions within the NAcc, as we previously found to be the case within the DS. Within the NAcc, nomifensine preferentially enhanced evoked DA overflow in the slow domains compared with the fast domains. To seek a kinetic explanation for nomifensine's selective actions, we quantified the apparent KM of DA clearance by numerically evaluating the derivative of the descending phase of the DA signal after the end of the stimulus. For comparison, we likewise quantified the apparent KM in the domains of the DS. As expected, because it is a competitive inhibitor, nomifensine significantly increased the apparent KM in both the fast and slow domains of both the NAcc and DS. However, our analysis also led to the novel finding that nomifensine preferentially increases the apparent KM in the NAcc compared with the DS; the apparent KM increased by ~500% in the NAcc and by ~200% in the DS.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter serotonin underlies many of the brain's functions. Understanding serotonin neurochemistry is important for improving treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression. Antidepressants commonly target serotonin clearance via serotonin transporters and have variable clinical effects. Adjunctive therapies, targeting other systems including serotonin autoreceptors, also vary clinically and carry adverse consequences. Fast scan cyclic voltammetry is particularly well suited for studying antidepressant effects on serotonin clearance and autoreceptors by providing real-time chemical information on serotonin kinetics in vivo. However, the complex nature of in vivo serotonin responses makes it difficult to interpret experimental data with established kinetic models. Here, we electrically stimulated the mouse medial forebrain bundle to provoke and detect terminal serotonin in the substantia nigra reticulata. In response to medial forebrain bundle stimulation we found three dynamically distinct serotonin signals. To interpret these signals we developed a computational model that supports two independent serotonin reuptake mechanisms (high affinity, low efficiency reuptake mechanism, and low affinity, high efficiency reuptake system) and bolsters an important inhibitory role for the serotonin autoreceptors. Our data and analysis, afforded by the powerful combination of voltammetric and theoretical methods, gives new understanding of the chemical heterogeneity of serotonin dynamics in the brain. This diverse serotonergic matrix likely contributes to clinical variability of antidepressants.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) plays a critical role in CNS circuits that provide for attention, executive function, reward responses, motivation and movement. DA is inactivated by the cocaine- and amphetamine-sensitive DA transporter (DAT), a protein that also provides a pathway for non-vesicular DA release. After a brief review of DAT function and psychostimulant actions, we consider the importance DAT in relation to the distinct firing patterns of DA neurons that permit awareness of novelty and reward. Finally, we review recent efforts to gather direct support for DAT-linked disorders, with a specific focus on DAT mutations recently identified in subjects with ADHD.

Abstract
The dopamine (DA) terminal field in the rat dorsal striatum is organized as a patchwork of domains that show distinct DA kinetics. The rate and short-term plasticity of evoked DA release, the rate of DA clearance and the actions of several dopaminergic drugs are all domain-dependent. The patchwork arises in part from local variations in the basal extracellular concentration of DA, which establishes an autoinhibitory tone in slow but not fast domains. The present study addressed the hypothesis that a domain patchwork might also exist in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcc), a DA terminal field that is deeply involved in reward processing and the mechanisms underlying substance abuse. DA recordings in the NAcc by fast-scan voltammetry during electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle confirmed that the NAcc contains a patchwork of fast and slow domains showing significantly different rates of evoked DA release and DA clearance. Moreover, the NAcc domains are substantially different from those in the dorsal striatum. There were no signs in the NAcc of short-term plasticity of DA release during multiple consecutive stimuli, and no signs of a domain-dependent autoinhibitory tone. Thus, the NAcc domains are distinct from each other and from the domains of the dorsal striatum.

Abstract
Recent evidence has shown that the dorsal striatum of the rat is arranged as a patchwork of domains that exhibit distinct dopamine kinetics and concentrations. This raises the pressing question of how these distinct domains are maintained, especially if dopamine is able to diffuse through the extracellular space. Diffusion between the domains would eliminate the concentration differences and, thereby, the domains themselves. The present study is a closer examination of dopamine's ability to diffuse in the extracellular space. We used voltammetry to record dopamine overflow in dorsal striatum while stimulating the medial forebrain bundle over a range of stimulus currents and frequencies. We also examined the effects of drugs that modulated the dopamine release (raclopride and quinpirole) and uptake (nomifensine). Examining the details of the temporal features of the evoked profiles reveals no clear evidence for long-distance diffusion of dopamine between fast and slow domains, even though uptake inhibition by nomifensine clearly prolongs the time that dopamine resides in the extracellular space. Our observations support the conclusion that striatal tissue has the capacity to retain dopamine molecules, thereby limiting its tendency to diffuse through the extracellular space.

The spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar Kyoto rat models of ADHD exhibit sub-regional differences in dopamine release and uptake in the striatum and nucleus accumbens. Neuropharmacology 2012; 63:1327-34.

Abstract
The most widely used animal model of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR/NCrl), which best represents the combined subtype (ADHD-C). Recent evidence has revealed that a progenitor strain, the Wistar Kyoto from Charles River Laboratories (WKY/NCrl), is useful as a model of the inattentive subtype (ADHD-PI) and the Wistar Kyoto from Harlan Laboratories (WKY/NHsd) and the Sprague Dawley (SD) have been suggested as controls. Dopamine (DA) dysfunction in the striatum (Str) and nucleus accumbens core (NAc) is thought to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of ADHD but data obtained with the SHR is equivocal. Using high-speed chronoamperometric recordings with carbon fiber microelectrodes, we found that the SHR/NCrl displayed decreased KCl-evoked DA release versus the WKY/NCrl model of ADHD-PI in the dorsal Str. The WKY/NCrl and the WKY/NHsd control did not differ from each other; however, the control SD released less DA than the WKY/NCrl model of ADHD-PI in the dorsal Str and less than the control WKY/NHsd in the intermediate Str. The SHR/NCrl had faster DA uptake in the ventral Str and NAc versus both control strains, while the WKY/NCrl model of ADHD-PI exhibited faster DA uptake in the NAc versus the SD control. These results suggest that increased surface expression of DA transporters may explain the more rapid uptake of DA in the Str and NAc of these rodent models of ADHD.

Abstract
Carbon fiber microelectrodes are widely used for electrochemical monitoring in the intact brain. The local delivery of reagents to the recording site is often desirable. The approach of co-implanting a micropipette near the microelectrode presents some limitations that are overcome by the use of double-barreled devices. One barrel supports the carbon fiber and the other barrel serves as a pipet for local reagent delivery. Some studies have used iontophoretic delivery but here we consider the alternative approach of pressure ejection. However, placing the pipet so close to the electrode raises the risk that reagent can leak into the recording site. This problem is easily solved. We filled the tip of the pipet with vehicle solution, the barrel with a reagent solution, and separated the two solutions with an air gap to prevent their mixing. With this approach, reagent is delivered only after 'priming' pressure pulses: we show in two examples that unintended reagent delivery (leakage) prior to the priming pulses is non-detectable.

Abstract
The rat dorsal striatum exhibits domain-dependent kinetics of dopamine release and clearance. The present report describes the domain-dependent actions of nomifensine (20 mg/kg i.p.), a competitive dopamine uptake inhibitor, on evoked dopamine responses recorded by voltammetry during electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle. In slow domains, nomifensine increases the initial rate of evoked overflow, increases response overshoot, does not affect the slope of the linear segment of the dopamine clearance profile, and slows the non-linear segment of the clearance profile. In fast domains, nomifensine does not affect the initial rate of overflow, increases the end-of-stimulus overshoot, and decreases the slope of the linear segment of the dopamine clearance profile. Collectively, these findings do not concur with existing models of evoked dopamine release that describe the effect of nomifensine as an increase in the effective KM of dopamine uptake. These findings suggest that dopamine clearance after evoked release is affected by both dopamine uptake and a restricted extracellular diffusion process.

Abstract
The insertion of microdialysis probes into the rat striatum disrupts dopaminergic activity near the probe track. The present study suggests that a substantial fraction of DA terminals near the probe track (200 μm) survive the probe implantation itself but that the surviving terminals experience altered presynaptic inhibition. We found that probe implantation did not just alter the amplitude of evoked dopamine responses recorded by voltammetry, but also changed their temporal profile in a fashion similar to that previously observed by quinpirole, an agonist of dopamine D2 autoreceptors. Altered presynaptic inhibition is supported by a hypersensitivity of evoked dopamine responses recorded near to microdialysis probes to raclopride, a D2 antagonist. Further, we found that evoked dopamine release was also hypersensitive to a final dose of the dopamine transporter inhibitor, nomifensine.

Tonic nanomolar dopamine enables an activity-dependent phase recovery mechanism that persistently alters the maximal conductance of the hyperpolarization-activated current in a rhythmically active neuron.

Abstract
The phases at which network neurons fire in rhythmic motor outputs are critically important for the proper generation of motor behaviors. The pyloric network in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion generates a rhythmic motor output wherein neuronal phase relationships are remarkably invariant across individuals and throughout lifetimes. The mechanisms for maintaining these robust phase relationships over the long-term are not well described. Here we show that tonic nanomolar dopamine (DA) acts at type 1 DA receptors (D1Rs) to enable an activity-dependent mechanism that can contribute to phase maintenance in the lateral pyloric (LP) neuron. The LP displays continuous rhythmic bursting. The activity-dependent mechanism was triggered by a prolonged decrease in LP burst duration, and it generated a persistent increase in the maximal conductance (G(max)) of the LP hyperpolarization-activated current (I(h)), but only in the presence of steady-state DA. Interestingly, micromolar DA produces an LP phase advance accompanied by a decrease in LP burst duration that abolishes normal LP network function. During a 1 h application of micromolar DA, LP phase recovered over tens of minutes because, the activity-dependent mechanism enabled by steady-state DA was triggered by the micromolar DA-induced decrease in LP burst duration. Presumably, this mechanism restored normal LP network function. These data suggest steady-state DA may enable homeostatic mechanisms that maintain motor network output during protracted neuromodulation. This DA-enabled, activity-dependent mechanism to preserve phase may be broadly relevant, as diminished dopaminergic tone has recently been shown to reduce I(h) in rhythmically active neurons in the mammalian brain.
