Abstract excerpt
Previous research conducted in this and other laboratories has examined the role of genetic factors in determining sensitivity to (-)-nicotine in a variety of behavioral and physiological measures in the rat. More recent research further indicates that genetic factors can also influence the level of sensitivity to (-)-nicotine when serving as a discriminative stimulus (DS) in different rat strains. However, there...
