Abstract
⺠Fluctuations of tonic dopamine levels characterize the mesoaccumbens stress response. ⺠High tonic dopamine in accumbens supports active coping whereas low tonic DA is associated with passive coping. ⺠In novel stressful situations the balance between cortical dopamine and norepinephrine controls tonic dopamine in accumbens. ⺠Individual variability in coping styles is associated with opposite mesoaccumbens dopamine stress responses.
