Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Nicotine: Correlation with Binding Studies

  • Chapter
Tobacco Smoking and Nicotine

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 31))

Abstract

The main reason for smoking tobacco is to obtain the effects of nicotine; an improved way of dealing with the pharmacological component of tobacco addiction will only come from advances in understanding both the behavioral mechanisms involved and the mode of action of nicotine in the CNS. This article reviews recent work which has been aimed at identifying underlying neuropharmacological mechanisms.
