Abstract
Linear sweep voltammograms recorded with carbon paste electrodes in the striatum of the unanaesthetised, unrestrained rat show three separate peaks. The effect on peak 3 of either unilateral homovanillic acid which are predicted by their effects on dopamine release. Simultaneous monitoring of total motor activity and homovanillic acid show significant correlation between these two parameters. The usefulness of this technique for monitoring dopamine release is critically evaluated in the light of these results.
