A double-blind placebo controlled experimental study of nicotine: I--effects on incentive motivation.

abstract：:Administration to mice of harmaline (100 mg/kg SC) resulted in a greater than two-fold increase in cyclic GMP in the cerebellum 15 min later. This response was inhibited by pretreatment 5 min before the harmaline with pentobarbital (ED50 6.5 mg/kg), chlormethiazole (ED50 10.4 mg/kg) and dizocilpine (ED50 0.5 mg/kg). H...
