Diurnal variations in natural and drug reward, mesolimbic tyrosine hydroxylase, and clock gene expression in the male rat

Journal of Biological Rhythms

Abstract

The impact of the circadian timing system upon behavior and physiology is pervasive, and previous evidence suggests a circadian modulation of drug-seeking behavior and responsiveness to drugs of abuse. To further characterize daily rhythms in reward and to extend these observations to natural reinforcers, diurnal variation in the rewarding value of sex and systemic amphetamine was assessed via the conditioned place preference paradigm. To identify potential mechanisms for rhythmicity in reward, levels of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and core clock proteins (Period1 and Bmal1) were examined across the day in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the nucleus accumbens (NAcc). During an initial training period, male rat sexual performance varied diurnally with a nadir near the light-to-dark transition. Diurnal rhythms also were evident for both mating and amphetamine-related reward. However, the rhythms for these particular stimuli exhibited differences in their pattern of timing, with sex reward showing a peak during the middark period and amphetamine reward exhibiting high points during the late night and midday with a nadir prior to the light-to-dark transition. A diurnal variation also was seen for the locomotor-activating effect ...Continue Reading
