CIRCLING training (CT) decreases muscarinic acetyl-choline receptor (mAchR) binding in rat striatum. As cholinergic and dopaminergic systems interact strongly we evaluated the expression of D2-subtype dopamine receptor (DA D2) and mAchR together after CT. Animals trained from 30 to 37 days of age and sacrificed 2 months later showed an enduring drop in Bmax of 40% in DA D2 and 34% in mAchR. Plotting the percentage of binding drop of both receptors for each animal showed that the reduction of one system correlates with the other (r2 = 0.71, p < 0.01; n = 8). Neither mAchR nor DA D2 were affected when training started at 20 or 60 days. We conclude that the presence of a period where CT exerts long term alterations during development involves both cholinergic and dopaminergic systems.
