Rats received bilateral infusions of 6-hydroxydopamine into the olfactory tubercle, resulting in a substantial (89%) local depletion of dopamine. This treatment did not significantly alter conditioned place preference produced by (+)-amphetamine, suggesting that the mesolimbic dopaminergic projection to olfactory tubercle does not mediate the rewarding effects of (+)-amphetamine in rats.
