    non-declarative procedural memory, while the information about stress effects on procedural memoryand their relationwith striatal serotonin is scarce. The objective of this studywas to evaluate the effects ofstress on themodications of the striatal serotonergic system. In Experiment 1, the effects of either 60minof restraint (R) or exposure to the elevated T-maze (ETM) was assessed. Exposure to ETM decreased 5-HTconcentration and to R increased 5-HT activity ([metabolite]/[neurotransmitter]). In Experiment 2, weevaluated the effects of restraint on ETM trained immediately, 24 or 48h after restraint. No effects weredetected in acquisition or escape latencies, while retention latencies were lower in all groups comparedwith the non-restrained group, although signicant effects were detected immediately and 24h afterrestraint. The memory impairment seems to be associated with changes in striatal serotonergic system,given that 5-HT concentration increased, while serotonergic activity decreased. The differences in theactivity of 5-HT detected in each experiment could be explained by the effects of different stressors onthe serotonergic neurons ability to synthesize the neurotransmitter. Thus, we suggest that exposure tostress impairs procedural memory and that striatal serotonin modulates this effect.

    their action is prolonged [11]. Stressors are any internal or exter-nal stimuli (physical, psychological) that induce stress or disrupthomeostasis. Physical stressors include disturbances of the inter-nal environment and psychological stressors are stimuli that affectemotion and induce fear, anxiety, or frustration; stressors may bework in combination [12].

    The hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal axis (HPA) and thesympatheticadrenal system play an important role in the stressresponse. In response to stress, the corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF) increases resulting in adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)releases by the pituitary, which in turn stimulates glucocorticoidsrelease by the adrenal gland. CRF also functions as a neuromodula-tor within the central nervous system [13]. Neuroendocrine andhormonal responses also include an increase in adrenaline andnoradrenaline release from the adrenal medulla and the sympa-thetic nervous system [14]. In response to stress, there are alsochanges in dopamine and serotonin systems [15,16]. The serotoner-gic systemplays a role in the regulation of the sympathetic nervoussystem and the hypothalamopituitaryadrenal axis and in thesame way glucocorticoids and catecholamines affect central sero-tonergic systems [9,16].

    After thebehavioral procedures all subjectsweredecapitated, thebrain removedand kept in liquid nitrogen, samples of dorsal striatumwere taken, following param-eters of the stereotaxic atlas [44]. The amount of 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindoleaceticacid (5-HIAA) was measured following the methodology previously used [4548].In brief, the tissue samples were weighed and homogenized in 300l of 0.1N per-chloric acid, centrifuged at 12,500 rpm for 30min at 4 C the supernatant wasltered and 20l of this extract was injected into the HPLC system for analysis.The HPLC apparatus consisted of an isocratic pump (PerkinElmer Co., Norwalk,CT, USA, model LC-250), a Rheodyne injection valve and a C18 column (Bionalyt-ical Systems, Inc., USA), protected by a pre-column cartridge lter (BionalyticalSystems, Inc.). The concentration of 5-HT and 5-HIAA were quantied electro-chemically, using a BAS LC-4C amperometric detector and an LC-4A glassy carbontransducer cell (Bionalytical Systems, Inc.). The mobile phase consisted of 0.1M cit-rate buffer (pH 3.0), with 100mg of 1-octane-sulfonic acid (Sigma, St. Louis, MO,USA), 20ml of acetonitrile and 15ml of tetrahydrofuran (Omnisolve and Science,Canada).
