Role of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the effects of cocaine-paired contextual stimuli on impulsive decision making in rats

Abstract

Chronic cocaine exposure produces unconditioned enhancement in impulsive decision making; however, little is known about the effects of cocaine-paired conditioned stimuli on this behavior. Thus, this study explored the effects of cocaine-paired contextual stimuli on impulsive decision making and the contribution of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to this phenomenon
