Accumbens cholinergic interneurons dynamically promote dopamine release and enable motivation

Abstract: Motivation to work for potential rewards is critically dependent on dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). DA release from NAc axons can be controlled by at least two distinct mechanisms: 1) action potentials propagating from DA cell bodies in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and 2) activation of β2* nicotinic receptors by local cholinergic interneurons (CINs). How CIN activity contributes to NAc DA dynamics in behaving animals is not well understood. We monitored DA release in the NAc Core of awake, u… Show more

“…In their original report of ACh-evoked DA release, Cachope and colleagues (2012) presented an example recording whereby strong optogenetic activation of cholinergic interneurons for several seconds is accompanied by DA elevation in the NAc of a urethane-anesthetized mouse. More recently, we and others showed in mice and rats that the patterns of DA and ACh release in various striatal locations in vivo are strongly correlated on sub-second time-scales in a manner that is consistent with ACh-evoked DA release (Howe et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2022;Chantranupong et al, 2023;Krok et al, 2023;Mohebi et al, 2023). Yet DA dynamics in the dorsal and lateral striatum were found to persist even after molecular, pharmacological and optogenetic interference with ACh signaling (Chantranupong et al, 2023;Krok et al, 2023).…”

“…In addition, our findings call into question the nature of the RdLight1 fluorescent transients reported in Figure 1 of the study by Mohebi et al (2023). Given the similarity of our recordings in terms of response magnitude, timing and dynamics over a variety of stimulation parameters, it is likely that the light-evoked RdLight1 responses reported reflect this photoactivation effect.…”

“…Decisions to work depend critically upon DA modulation of the NAc (7). Blockade of NAc Core dopamine receptors -especially D1r -interferes with the initiation of approach behavior (34,61,62). Mice lacking functional D1r show a deficit in cue-evoked approach, and this deficit is ameliorated by restoring expression of D1r specifically in NAc Core D1+ neurons (63).…”
