Résumé

Lorsque le rat a été traité par des injections journalières de nicotine au cours de la gestation, le développement des réponses du jeune rat a l'électrochoc est retardé. Ce modifications, qui reflètent des altérations dans la maturation des systèmes inhibiteurs et excitants du système nerveux central au cours de la croissance persistent jusqu'à la 5e semaine post-natale. Ces résultats indiquent que la nicotine est capable de provoquer des modifications dans le développement du cerveau à l'état foetal.
