- Abstract:
-
It is established that the brain monoaminergic systems are among the main targets of several dependence-inducing drugs, including nicotine. In the present study extracellular electrophysiological recordings were performed to investigate the effects of nicotine on dorsal raphe 5-HT neurones. Nicotine, administered systemically (50-400 microg/kg, i.v.) in chloral hydrate-anaesthetised rats, induced a transient inhibition of the majority of 5-HT neurones recorded (38 of 45). The inhibition was r...
