• Objectives and, Specific Aims (Continued) It was conjectured that these delayed changes in behavior following nicotine injections could .; -conceivably be related to epinephrine output. Si.l'vette et al., in their extensive review (1), found ;~ ''':'::it".difficult to ascribe the above reported effects to any pharmacolocrical action of a sina(e iniection of nicotine three days previously. A more likely conclusion would seem to be that the animals werey ~ ::effected by some other part of the experimental procedure rather than the nicotine per se." :=1t is of interest to note that a later study (10) reported'an increase in excretion of urinary epinephrine produced by chronic injections of nicotine. The excretion reached a peak after three ;.,.days of treatment. . The intent of the proposed research is to measure rate of acquisition of discrimination behavior '_.i'n laboratory animals who are administered nicotine chronically during acquisition training. 0 ~ OO W CJ1 ~ CA 0

Possible Results: T. Nicotine treated animals will acquire the discrimination more rapidly than saline controls. 2. Saline controls will acquire the behavior more rapidly than nicotine animals. . There will be no significant differences bet~ • en nicotine and saline animals in the rate of acquisition of the discrimination. • Procedure B: This procedure, developed by this- investigator and colleagues in 1957, is ..currently used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry for the pre-clinical evaluation of the minor tranquilizers (anti-anxiety agents). The behavior involves the learning of an auditory dis- crimi'nation (or visual) based on punishment. The auditory discrimination is condilioned in hungry laboratory animals by simultaneously rewarding! with food and punishing wi.th- mild electric shock all lever responses made in the presence of a discriminative stimulus (tone or light). Appropriate setting of the shock intensity results in suppression of ongoing lever pressing, in the presence of the discriminative stimulus. The intent of this experiment is to investigate the rate of acquisi- tion of such a discrimination in animals administered nicotine chronically. The hungry laboratory animals first learrn to press a lever irrorder to obtain food rewards which are obtainable on the average of once every two, minutes (2 minute VI). When lever pressing rates have stabilized a tone or light stimulus of 3 minute duration is introduced at regular intervals during the lever-pressing session. This stimulus serves as a signal for the animal that all lever responses will be reinforced with food. The discriminative stimulus signals a change from a reLatively undesirable schedule ofi reinforcement (2 minute VI) to a schedule with a higher '"pay-off" of reinforcements (continuous reinforcement). When the behavior has stabilized, a. " 1003546953

Experimental Design and Procedures (Continued) punishment contingency is added so• that, during• the discriminative stimulus,lever pressing is 's:"~; t~.= .d rewarded with food but also produces mild shock to the feet of the animal . The hungry animal must balance the positive aspects.of obtaining food against the negative aspects of accepting ;~r;~electric shocks in order to obtain the food. After a period of time these experimental contin- • s ' ~;;gencies result in a suppression of lever-pressing behavior during stimulus periods.
