Fabrication of Chronic Dopamine Microsensors
Dopamine microsensors for chronic implantation consisted of carbon-fiber microelectrodes insulated in a fused-silica capillary20 (link),21 (link). A single carbon fiber (34–700, Goodfellow Corporation, PA) was inserted into a 10–15 mm length of fused silica (Polymicro Technologies, AZ) while submerged in 2-propanol. One end of the microsensor was then sealed with Devcon two-component epoxy (IWT Performance Polymers, FL) and allowed to dry, leaving a length of carbon fiber protruding. A silver connector (Newark, IL) was secured in contact with the carbon fiber on the other end of the silica with silver epoxy (8331; MG Chemicals, BC, Canada), allowed to cure overnight, then insulated with a layer of two component epoxy. After an additional twelve hours of drying, the fabrication of the chronic microsensor was finalized by trimming the exposed carbon fiber to the desired length of the sensor (150–200 µm).

Voltammetric Recordings for Neurotransmitter Monitoring
Procedures for FSCV recordings are identical to those previously described.8 (link),17 (link) Briefly, electrodes were made by aspirating a carbon fiber into a glass pipette, which was pulled in a vertical micropipette puller. These electrodes, which had a length of carbon fiber protruding from the glass seal, were examined under light microscopy and the fiber was cut to 75–100 µm using a scalpel. Electrodes were then loaded into custom made manipulators (UIC Research Resources Center). Using these manipulators, which are designed to interface with the guide cannula implanted in the brain of experimental rat subjects, electrodes were lowered into the channel of the µFC. Electrodes were held at −0.4 V against Ag/AgCl between voltammetric scans and then driven to +1.3 V and back at 400 V/s. This triangle waveform causes oxidation and reduction of chemical species at the electrode resulting in a large background current. Background current is digitally subtracted so that changes in current produced by the oxidation/reduction of transient signals (e.g. neurotransmitter) can be identified. Dopamine is electroactive within this potential range and is identified by plotting current against the applied potential used to produce a background-subtracted voltammogram color plot.

Baclofen Modulates Dopamine Responses
Animals were implanted with chronic, carbon fiber microsensors targeted at the nucleus accumbens core (1.3-mm lateral and 1.3-mm rostral from bregma) and with bilateral guide cannulae (26 gauge; Plastics One, VA) directed at the VTA (0.5-mm lateral and −5.6-mm caudal to bregma, lowered 7.0 mm ventral from dura mater). Dummy canulae (Plastics One, VA) were installed in the guide cannulae and removed during testing. On test days (~2 months after implantation), injectors (33 gauge; Plastics One, VA) were inserted through the guide cannulae so they protruded 1 mm beyond the guide cannulae to a final depth of 8.0 mm ventral from dura mater. Injections (0.5 µl) of ACSF (in mM: 154.7 Na+, 2.9 K+, 132.49 Cl−, 1.1 Ca2+ at pH = 7.4) or baclofen (50 ng) dissolved in ACSF were visually monitored for accuracy and were completed within four min. Dopamine responses to reward delivery were recorded immediately prior to injections and 5 min after injections. Voltammetric responses were analyzed by calculating the area under the curve of the change in current at the peak dopamine oxidation potential which was normalized to the percentage of that for the pre-injection reward delivery.
