In rats that had been treated neonatally with 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) to deplete striatal dopamine more than 95%, a single injection of p-chloroamphetamine (pCA) (5 or 10 mg/kg, i.p.) resulted in depletion of striatal and hippocampal serotonin at 1 week to a similar extent as in control rats. These findings suggest that striatal dopamine is not essential to the long-lasting depletion of brain serotonin by pCA in rats.
