The role of nicotinic receptor beta-2 subunits in nicotine discrimination and conditioned taste aversion.
The subtypes of nicotinic receptors at which the behavioural effects of nicotine originate are not fully understood. These experiments use mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic receptors to investigate its role in nicotine discrimination and conditioned taste aversion (CTA). Wild-type and mutant mice were trained either in a two-lever nicotine discrimination procedure using a tandem sched...
متن کاملNicotine-induced conditioned place preference and conditioned place aversion in mice.
The motivational effects of nicotine were examined in mice using an unbiased place conditioning design. Swiss-Webster mice received four 15-min parings of a tactile stimulus with different doses of nicotine (0.25-2.0 mg/kg, IP). A different tactile stimulus was paired with saline injections. During conditioning, nicotine produced locomotor depression at the 2.0-mg/kg dose, with the greatest red...
متن کاملConditioned Place Preference and Aversion
The use of a virtual reality environment (VRE) enables behavioral scientists to create different spatial contexts in which human participants behave freely, while still confined to the laboratory. In this article, VRE was used to study conditioned place preference (CPP) and aversion (CPA). In Experiment 1, half of the participants were asked to visit a house for two minutes with consonant music...
متن کاملGenetic background influences nicotine-induced conditioned place preference and place aversion in mice.
This study was designed to determine whether genetic differences influence the rewarding effects of nicotine in 4 inbred strains of mice (DBA/2, BALB/c, C3H, and C57BL/6). Nicotine (subcutaneous) induced a place preference in DBA/2 and BALB/c mice but a place aversion in C57BL/6 mice. A low dose of nicotine produced a significant place preference, whereas a high dose of nicotine produced place ...
متن کاملPotential Role of the a4 and a6 Nicotinic Receptor Subunits in Regulating Nicotine-Induced Seizures
Several studies have shown that genetic factors influence sensitivity to nicotine-induced seizures in the mouse. We used recombinant inbred (RI) strains derived from the Long-Sleep (LS) and Short-Sleep (SS) mouse lines to assess the possibility that polymorphisms associated with one or more of the nicotinic receptors cosegregate with differential sensitivity to nicotine-induced seizures. Restri...
