    Abstract:
    The effect on jaw movements of intracerebral injections of the dopamine D1-like receptor agents SK&F 83959 (3-methyl-6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-[3-methylphenyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine), SK&F 38393 ([R]-7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine) and SCH 23390 ([R]-3-methyl-7-chloro-8-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine) and of injections of the dopamine D2-like receptor agonist quinpirole into the ventrolateral striatum, accumbens shell or prefrontal cortex were studied. SK&F 38393 and SK&F 83959 injected into the ventrolateral striatum synergised with i.v. quinpirole; in the shell of accumbens, SK&F 38393 evidenced weaker synergism with quinpirole, while SK&F 83959 did not synergise with it; neither agent synergised with quinpirole in the prefrontal cortex. Co-injection of SCH 23390 or SK&F 83959 into the prefrontal cortex antagonised jaw movements induced by injection of SK&F 83959 into the ventrolateral striatum in combination with i.v. quinpirole. Injection of SK&F 83959 + quinpirole into the ventrolateral striatum, but not into the accumbens shell, resulted in synergism. These findings indicate a primary, but not exclusive, role for ventral striatal, non-cyclase-coupled dopamine D1-like receptors in the induction of jaw movements. These processes appear to require tonic activity of prefrontal cyclase-linked dopamine D1A [and/or D1B] receptors.
