DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice were injected with nicotine, and tested in a Y water maze in two procedures: the L procedure, coresponding to innate behavior, in which the animals must swim towards the light, and the D procedure, corresponding to the acquisition of a new pattern of behavior, in which they

β¦ Synopsis
Rats of Roman High and Low Avoidance strains were trained in two tasks i.e. the Hebb-Williams maze and shuttle box. Immediately after each daffy trial the experimental subjects were injected with 0.8 mg/kg dose of nicotine tartrate. Distilled water was administered to a control group. The results suggest that maze learning was enhanced by nicotine. The same dose of nicotine tartrate had no effect on the escape-avoidance task.

Tolerance to nicotine occurs in mice after its chronic administration. This tolerance is accompanied by an up-regulation of nicotinic receptors as assessed by the binding of (3H)-nicotine and alpha-(125I)-bungarotoxin (BTX). Past studies (Marks et al. 1983, 1986) have shown that the increase in BTX
