Effect of haloperidol on consummatory successive positive contrast in adult rats with adolescent isolation

Rats exposed to adolescent isolation (AA) show neurological and behavioral disorders into adulthood, many of them related to changes in response to appetitive reinforcers. Previous studies showed an increase of consummatory Successive Positive Contrast(cSPC, i.e., increased consumption of 32% sugar...

description Rats exposed to adolescent isolation (AA) show neurological and behavioral disorders into adulthood, many of them related to changes in response to appetitive reinforcers. Previous studies showed an increase of consummatory Successive Positive Contrast(cSPC, i.e., increased consumption of 32% sugar solution, 24 hours after having access to 4% solution) in rats exposed to AA, in comparison to animals without AA. This study aim at evaluating whether this effect is associated with dopaminergic hyperactivity. Haloperidol (0.1 mg / kg, i.p.) was administered before animals with AA were exposed to the presentation of the increased solution (4% to 32%), while saline was administered to the control group. cSPC effect was not observed in animals receiving haloperidol, while a one trial positive contrast was expressed in animals receiving saline. These results confirm the proposed hypothesis. Although the results are promising, further experiments are needed to determine more precisely the neurochemical correlate of increased cSPC in animals with AA.

Las ratas expuestas a aislamiento adolescente (AA) muestran alteraciones neurológicas y conductuales en la adultez, muchas de ellas relacionadas con cambios en la respuesta ante reforzadores apetitivos. En estudios previos las ratas con AA mostraron un incremento del Contraste Sucesivo Positivo consumatorio(CSPc, i.e, mayor consumo de una solución azucarada al 32%, 24 hs después de tener acceso a una solución al 4%), respecto de animales sin AA. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar si este efecto está asociado a la hiperactividad dopaminérgica. Se administró haloperidol a animales con AA (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) antes de los ensayos de incremento del refuerzo y salina a un grupo control. No se halló CSPc en los animales que recibieron haloperidol, mientras que en los sujetos con salina se observó en un ensayo. Si bien los resultados apoyan la hipótesis propuesta, es necesario realizar futuros experimentos para determinar con mayor precisión el correlato neuroquímico del incremento de CSPc en animales con AA.
