Rapid effects of ovarian hormones in dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens
2018, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Importantly, sex differences in rotational behavior were also dependent on gonadal hormones. Rotational behavior induced by unilateral electrical stimulation of the ascending mesostriatal pathway was greatest in estrous females compared to those in diestrus, and similar results were seen after AMPH administration, even when controlling for sex differences in pharmacokinetic factors (Becker et al., 1982; Robinson et al., 1982). OVX reduced rotational behavior elicited by both AMPH and electrical stimulation, and treatment with estradiol for four consecutive days increased the number of rotations made after AMPH administration to levels seen in intact females (Becker and Beer, 1986; Robinson et al., 1982).
Sex Differences in the Effects and Actions of Cocaine

2016, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Backed by the results of other studies they suggested that the underlying basis for this turning bias is possibly an endogenous asymmetry in DA levels between the left and the right striatum (see Bracha et al., 1987b; Glick et al., 1982; Mead and Hampson, 1996). Again, based on the past studies, they suggested that the greater tendency of a rightward turning bias in females was possibly caused by their increased striatal dopaminergic asymmetry which is associated with high endogenous concentrations of ovarian hormones, and magnifies any existing rotational bias (see Becker et al., 1982; Mead and Hampson, 1996; Robinson et al., 1982). One obvious limitation of such an interpretation is that it cannot account for a leftward bias as demonstrated in some other studies (Mohr and Bracha, 2004; Mohr et al., 2003; Toussaint and Fagard, 2008; see above for details).
Sex Differences and Addiction

2009, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The estrous cycle alters the extracellular DA signaling transduction in the striatum of female rats. Specifically, (1) basal levels of DA in the striatum are greater in the estrus stage than in diestrus (Jori and Cecchetti, 1973; Becker and Cha, 1989; Becker, 1990); (2) the estrous cycle also alters DA receptors' distribution and reuptake sites (Di Paolo et al., 1982; Levesque and Di Paolo, 1988; Levesque et al., 1989); (3) female rats have greater behavioral responses when the striatal DA system is stimulated (pharmacologically or electronically) during estrus than during diestrus (Robinson et al., 1982; Becker et al., 1982; Joyce and Van Hartesveldy, 1984; Becker and Cha, 1989). Three new studies have demonstrated sex differences in PKA signaling pathway activation.
Fluctuation of latent inhibition along the estrous cycle in the rat: Modeling the cyclicity of symptoms in schizophrenic women?
2008, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :The above considerations raise the possibility that here only disrupted LI that is alleviated by haloperidol, namely, that found in proestrus–estrus, reflects a psychotic-like abnormality. Interestingly, DA activity, release and metabolism are higher during proestrus and early estrus (following the surges of estrogen) than metestrus and diestrus (Becker et al., 1982, 1987; Becker and Cha, 1989; Becker, 1990; Jori and Cecchetti, 1973; Robinson et al., 1982; Xiao and Becker, 1994). This may suggest that disruption of LI in the proestrus–estrus condition is mediated by increased dopaminergic transmission akin to amphetamine-induced disruption, and therefore effectively antagonized by haloperidol.
