“…In SIP-prone rats, differences in the binding affinity of DA D1-like/D2-like receptors exist in limbic and cortical circuits (amygdala, VTA, NAc, and medial prefrontal cortex [mPFC]) (Pellón et al, 2011). Furthermore, pharmacological pretreatment with either DA agonists/antagonists, serotonergic or monoamine modulators, reduce SIP behaviors (i.e., drinking and licking; see Table 2) (Moreno and Flores, 2012; Navarro et al, 2015; Rodriguez et al, 2017; Sukhanov et al, 2019). High drinking rats also show elevated serotonergic activity in the amygdala (Moreno et al, 2012) and reduced 5-HT 2A receptor binding in the mPFC (Mora et al, 2018) with additional evidence for changes in DA activity in the PFC, NAc, and amygdala (Moreno et al, 2012).…”
