Nicotine self-administration in baboons.

N A Ator, R R Griffiths

    Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior
    |December 1, 1983

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Nicotine self-administration varied significantly based on drug delivery schedules. Its reinforcing effects appear more dependent on availability conditions than other drugs of abuse.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral pharmacology
    • Neuroscience
    • Addiction research

    Background:

    • Nicotine and cocaine are drugs of abuse.
    • Understanding drug reinforcement is crucial for addiction treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how different drug delivery schedules affect nicotine and cocaine self-administration.
    • To determine the reinforcing properties of nicotine under varying conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments examined responding maintained by intravenous nicotine and cocaine under fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules.
    • Dose-effect functions were analyzed for nicotine self-administration.

    Main Results:

    • Nicotine initially showed an inverted U-shaped dose-effect curve but stabilized at low levels with continued exposure.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Under fixed-interval schedules, nicotine self-administration was lower than cocaine or food, but higher than saline.
  • Nicotine reinforcement remained constant despite changes in the fixed interval.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nicotine's reinforcing ability is highly sensitive to drug availability conditions.
    • This sensitivity may be greater for nicotine compared to other drugs of abuse.
    • Findings contribute to understanding the neurobiological basis of nicotine addiction.
