Biphasic Effects of Nicotine upon Ecs-Induced Retrograde Amnesia in Mice
The effects of nicotine in (a) attenuating the amnesic effect of a post-conditioning electroconvulsive shock (ECS; G), (b) facilitating avoidance-response acquisition by isolation-housed mice (5), and (c) antagonizing the effects of stress effects upon memory (3) have suggested several biochemical substrates for those systems to which these actions relate. One hypothesis that has emerged from these studies is that the increased content of brain 5…
Cholinergic Mechanisms and Avoidance Behavior Acquisition
Mice treated with nicotine sulfate showed, as compared with saline-treated controls, a decreased incidence of active avoidance conditioning without effects upon either passive avoidance acquisition or escape behavior. The effect of nicotine was to reduce significantly the ratio of bound: free acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. This change was accounted for by a decreased content of stored amine, particularly in the synaptic vesicles, without a…
