Conclusion

• Effects of corticosterone in the shell of the NAcc

  • DA in the shell of NAcc influenced basal and after drugs
  • Changes in postsynaptic activity after adrenalectomy and a cocaine injection are likely to depend on changes in extracellular DA rather than on changes in postsynaptic receptor sensitivity to DA
  • Other studies: adrenalectomy decreases psychomotor and reinforcing effects of psychostimulant drugs.
