abstract = {To investigate the effect of endogenously released dopamine
on the stimulus-induced blood oxygen level–dependent
(BOLD) responses, we used rats expressing inhibitory
designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs
(DREADDs) in neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and
electrically stimulated the fimbria/fornix. This stimulation
activates multiple components of the mesolimbic dopamine
system, as demonstrated by the BOLD signal changes during
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and dopamine
release in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) as detected by in
vivo fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. Activation of inhibitory
DREADDs by clozapine N-oxide (CNO) significantly reduced
stimulus-induced dopamine release and the BOLD response in
the NAcc. In contrast, the concurrently induced BOLD
response in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was not
significantly reduced after CNO administration, but the
hemodynamic response was shifted to the left. Specifically,
the Granger causality test showed that the temporal
relationship between the BOLD signal changes in the
hippocampus and the mPFC, changed. Under control conditions
(i.e., in the absence of CNO), the BOLD signal changes in
the mPFC and NAcc clearly preceded the BOLD signal changes
in the right hippocampus, whereas in the presence of CNO
this was only the case for the BOLD signal changes in the
NAcc. In the control rats, that is, the rats that received a
control virus and thus did not express DREADDs in the VTA,
this CNO-mediated effect was not present. Our results
indicate that activation of the endogenous dopaminergic
system has region-specific effects on the stimulus-induced
BOLD responses, so there is no generally applicable fMRI
parameter that clearly indicates increased activity of the
dopaminergic system.},
