The discriminative stimulus and reinforcing effects of nicotine in humans following nicotine pretreatment.

abstract：:Recently, we have described a new model of chronic social stress in rats, based on the resident-intruder paradigm. In this model, rats show behavioural changes that may be considered correlates of depressive symptoms, such as anhedonia and motivational deficits. The present study was designed for pharmacological valid...
