In the forebrain of the domestic chick (Gallus gallus domesticus), an area termed the mediorostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale is strongly involved in emotional learning paradigms such as acoustic filial imprinting. Furthermore, the involvement of the mediorostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale in stressful situations, such as social separation, has been demonstrated in 2-deoxyglucose studies. The aim of the present study was to examine whether quantitative changes of dopamine, serotonin and their metabolites occur during auditory filial imprinting and during social separation. Using in vivo microdialysis in tone-imprinted and in naive, control chicks, we compared the extracellular levels of homovanillic acid, a metabolite of dopamine, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, a metabolite of serotonin, during the presentation of the imprinting tone. A small, but statistically significant, decrease of extracellular homovanillic acid levels was found in the mediorostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale of imprinted chicks compared to control animals, whereas changes of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were not detected. In a second experiment, we investigated the levels of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the mediorostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale of socially reared chicks during different stress situations, such as handling or separation from their cage mates. Handling induced a significant increase of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, while social separation resulted in a significant increase of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and only a slight increase of homovanillic acid. Despite considerable inter-individual variability, the increase of distress vocalizations (duration of distress calls) after social separation displayed a good correlation to the increased 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels in all animals analysed. These results provide the first evidence that the physiological response of the mediorostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale related to different emotional conditions after acoustic imprinting and during stressful situations is, at least in part, mediated by dopaminergic and/or serotonergic pathways. Furthermore, the results from the present study indicate a distinct activation of dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways in relation to the behavioural situation and the associated changes of emotional status. |
