N2 - The effects of single and repeated electroconvulsive shock (ECS) on the release of dopamine from rat striatal slices were investigated using the fractional release technique. Experiments were performed 24 h after the single or the last of seven ECS sessions. Repeated, but not single, ECS was associated with reduced dopamine release in response to chemical stimulation. These results suggest that repeated ECS affects the regulation of striatal dopamine presynaptic receptors.
