Abstract

The effect of acetylcholine on impulsive choice is thought to be due to interactions between cholinergic and dopaminergic systems, but this hypothesis has not been proven. This study investigated whether D1-like receptors were involved in the effects of the muscarinic cholinergic agonist oxotremorine on impulsive choice in high-impulsive rats (HI rats, n=8) and low-impulsive rats (LI rats, n=8) characterized by basal levels of impulsive choice in a delay-discounting task. The results revealed that oxotremorine (0.05mg/kg) significantly increased the choice of the large reinforcer in HI rats, whereas decreased the choice of the large reinforcer in LI rats. The D1-like antagonist SCH 23390 produced significant reductions in the large-reinforcer choice in HI rats (0.01mg/kg) and LI rats (0.005, 0.0075, and 0.01mg/kg). SCH 23390 significantly inhibited the increase in the choice of the large reinforcer induced by oxotremorine (0.05mg/kg) in HI rats at doses of 0.005 and 0.0075mg/kg, but enhanced the effect of oxotremorine in LI rats only at the dose of 0.0075mg/kg. These findings suggested that D1-like receptors might be involved in the differential effects of oxotremorine on impulsive choice between HI rats and LI rats.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
