Sub-optimal performance in the 5-choice serial reaction time task in rats was sensitive to methylphenidate, atomoxetine and d-amphetamine, but unaffected by the COMT inhibitor tolcapone

▶ PFC dopamine and norepinephrine are implicated in impulsivity deficits. ▶ Prolonged ITI induced high levels of impulsivity in rats in 5-CSRTT. ▶ Tolcapone selectively enhances PFC dopamine, not norepinephrine. ▶ The COMT inhibitor tolcapone had no effects on the increased impulsivity. ▶ Data sugge...

description ▶ PFC dopamine and norepinephrine are implicated in impulsivity deficits. ▶ Prolonged ITI induced high levels of impulsivity in rats in 5-CSRTT. ▶ Tolcapone selectively enhances PFC dopamine, not norepinephrine. ▶ The COMT inhibitor tolcapone had no effects on the increased impulsivity. ▶ Data suggest PFC dopamine is not involved in impulsivity deficits in the 5-CSRTT. Prefrontal cortical dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) are implicated in multiple aspects of cognitive function assessed via the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT) in rodents. The present studies assessed the effects of the NE reuptake inhibitor atomoxetine (0.5–2.0 mg/kg), the mixed DA/NE reuptake inhibitor methylphenidate (0.1–2.0 mg/kg), the catecholamine releaser d-amphetamine (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) and the catecholamine-o-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibitor tolcapone (3.0–30.0 mg/kg) in rats that exhibited sub-optimal performance (reduced accuracy:
