1972). The duration of aphagia was much shorter after lesions of the MLC fibers than after lesions of the NStr fibers. Five other behaviors, however, appeared to be permanently impaired in MLC rats. These were visual placing (Sechzer, Ervin, & Smith, 1973), conditioned active avoidance response to foot shock (Smith, Levin, & Ervin, 1975), the locomotor response to amphetamine (Fink & Smith, 1980b), exploration of a novel open field (Fink & Smith, 1980a), and investigation of a novel object (Fink & Smith, 1980a).
This is strong evidence that the magnitude of DA release in the Acc was correlated with the reward value of sucrose during sham feeding rather than with the ingestive movements. , 1995). This extends the well-known synergistic relationship between duration of deprivation and the reward of ingested food from intake to a transient increase of DA in the Acc. Third, intraoral infusion of saccharin increased DA in the Acc 37%. , 1991). Fourth, when rats ingested sucrose octoacetate (SOA), a liquid with a mildly bitter taste, Acc DA did not change.
New experiments that used DA antagonists or 6-OHDA lesions have not been included because they do not distinguish between transient and chronic changes of DA. Food Reward and Transient Increases of DA Eating food is accompanied by transient increases in extracellular DA that last 30–40 min under most, but not all, experimental conditions. The Acc has been investigated more than any other region. , 1992). , 2003; Sokolowski, 1998). , 1994). Other sites were investigated less often. , 2003; Hernandez & Hoebel, 1990).
