A dual probe microdialysis study was designed to characterize GABA and dopamine (DA) release in the basal ganglia of cannabinoid-dependent Wistar rats. Whereas chronic administration of the cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212 (WIN) resulted in increased basal GABA release, the D2 agonist receptor-mediated control of GABA and DA release elicited by quinpirole was similar in both cannabinoid-dependent and non dependent animals. However, quinpirole did induce a greater number of more stereotypies in cannabinoid-dependent animals, indicating a dysregulated behavioral response.
