Effects of amphetamine on the production of 50-kHz ultrasonic calls were studied. Calls were emitted spontaneously or were induced by an intrahypothalamic-preoptic injection of glutamate. Sonographic analysis of recorded calls revealed that they were within the 35-70-kHz sound frequency range reported for the 50-kHz call type. Systemic amphetamine (AMPH, 2 mg/kg) significantly increased the number of spontaneously emitted 50-kHz calls and the effect of AMPH was dose-dependent. Low dose of intracerebral glutamate (17 mug) had no additive effect on the number of AMPH-induced calls. Higher dose of intracerebral glutamate alone (34 mug) significantly increased the number of 50-kHz calls, which was completely reversed by systemic application of haloperidol (2 mg/kg), a dopamine antagonist. The results suggest that glutamate-induced or spontaneously occurring 50-kHz calls in adult rats are dependent upon dopaminergic transmission. It is postulated that this type of calls may be indicative of dopamine mediated affective state in adult rats. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
