In the present resting-state fMRI study we investigated whether an acute dose of a first or second generation antipsychotic (haloperidol, clozapine, & risperidone) or an mGlu2/3 agonist (LY354740) can reverse the hyper functional connectivity specifically across cortical areas in the rat brain elicited by acute treatment with ketamine. While acute antipsychotic dosing failed to block the effect of the NMDA antagonist (ketamine) we identified a set of brain regions, i.e. substantia nigra and motor cortex, commonly modulated by haloperidol, clozapine, or LY354740 likely reflecting the direct or indirect modulation of dopamine transmission originating in the nigrostriatal pathway, respectively.
