Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term, low-level adolescent nicotine exposure produces dose-dependent changes in cocaine sensitivity and reward in adult mice.
Brian M. Kelley,James D. Rowan +1 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate a dose–response relationship between adolescent nicotine exposure and changes in cocaine reward and sensitivity during adulthood and the results of motor activity tests with dopamine agonist only approached significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coding of hierarchical versus linear pattern structure in rats and humans.
TL;DR: The results support the view that rats can abstract and encode a representation of multilevel hierarchical structure in serial patterns in much the same way as humans do in analogous tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity to violations of "run" and "trill" structures in rat serial-pattern learning.
TL;DR: Rats learned serial patterns composed of either "run" chunks or "trill" chunks and mastered the rules governing the pattern before learning "exceptions to the rule."
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent exposure to nicotine impairs adult serial pattern learning in rats
TL;DR: The results indicate that the effects of adolescent nicotine exposure on adult learning and cognitive capacity deserve further scrutiny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential impairments of rat serial pattern learning and retention induced by MK-801, an NMDA receptor antagonist
TL;DR: The results of these experiments indicated that MK-801 interfered withserial pattern learning and, to a lesser degree, retention, which is consistent with the contention in earlier literature that serial pattern learning is subserved by at least two learning/memory systems.
