Abstract

Microdialysis has been the tool of choice for the measurement of bioactive compounds in the brain of behaving animals for a number of years. Quantitative measurements of the extracellular composition can be made with precise chemical specificity over relatively long periods of time in pathological, pharmacological and behaviorally salient situations. Many investigators have utilized this technique for the measurement of forebrain dopamine under a variety of conditions.
