| Abstract | Previous experimental studies have shown that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulates the activity of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), and in particular the release of dopamine in this area of the brain. In the present report we review recent microinjections/microdialysis studies from our laboratory on the effects of stimulation/blockade of dopamine and glutamate receptors in the PFC that modulate dopamine, and also acetylcholine release in the NAc. Stimulation of prefrontal D2 dopamine receptors, but not group I mGlu glutamate receptors, reduces the release of dopamine and acetylcholine in the NAc and spontaneous motor activity. This inhibitory role of prefrontal D2 receptors is not changed by acute systemic injections of the NMDA antagonist phencyclidine. On the other hand, the blockade of NMDA receptors in the PFC increases the release of dopamine and acetylcholine in the NAc as well as motor activity which suggests that the hypofunction of prefrontal NMDA receptors is able to produce the neurochemical and behavioural changes associated with a dysfunction of the corticolimbic circuit. We suggest here that dopamine and glutamate receptors are, in part, segregated in specific cellular circuits in the PFC. Thus, the stimulation/blockade of these receptors would have a different net impact on PFC output projections to regulate dopamine and acetylcholine release in the NAc and in guided behaviour. Finally, it is speculated that environmental enrichment might produce plastic changes that modify the functional interaction between the PFC and the NAc in both physiological and pathological conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
