The intra dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) administration of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRF) inhibits serotonergic (5-HT) activity in this structure, an effect blocked by antagonists selective for the type 1 CRF receptor (CRF1). The DRN has a high density of the type 2 receptor (CRF2), and so the present experiments explored the impact of CRF2 activation within the DRN on 5-HT function. The intra-DRN administration of the selective CRF2 agonist urocortin 2 (Ucn 2) dose dependently increased 5-HT efflux in the basolateral amygdala, a projection region of the DRN. Intra-DRN Ucn 2 also increased c-fos expression in labeled 5-HT neurons. Both of these effects of Ucn 2 were completely blocked by intra-DRN antisauvagine-30 (ASV-30), a relatively selective CRF2 antagonist. These data suggest that CRF, and CRF2 activation within the DRN affect 5-HT neurons in opponent fashion. Implications of these results for understanding the behavioral effects of CRF and other CRF-like ligands are discussed. (C) 2004 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
