Abstract

Nicotine alters cognitive processes that include working memory and long-term memory. Trace fear conditioning may involve working memory during acquisition while also allowing the assessment of long-term memory. The present study used trace fear conditioning in C57BL/6 mice to investigate the effects of acute nicotine, chronic nicotine and withdrawal of chronic nicotine on processes active during acquisition and recall 24 h later and to examine the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes (nAChRs) involved in withdrawal deficits in trace fear conditioning. During training, acute nicotine (0.09 mg/kg) enhanced, but chronic nicotine (6.3 mg/kg/day, 13 days) and withdrawal of chronic nicotine (6.3 mg/kg/day, 12 days) had no significant effect on, acquisition of trace conditioning. At recall, acute treatment enhanced conditioning while chronic nicotine had no effect and withdrawal of chronic nicotine resulted in deficits. Antagonist-precipitated withdrawal was used to characterize the nAChRs involved in the withdrawal deficits. The low-affinity nAChR antagonist MLA (1.5, 3 or 9 mg/kg) had no effect on trace fear conditioning, but the high-affinity nAChR antagonist DHbetaE (3 mg/kg) precipitated deficits in trace fear conditioning if administered at training or training and testing, but not if administered at testing alone. The beta2 nAChR subunit is involved in the withdrawal effects as withdrawal of chronic nicotine produced deficits in trace fear conditioning in wildtype but not in beta2-knockout mice. Thus, nicotine alters processes involved in both acquisition and long-term memory of trace fear conditioning, and high-affinity beta2 subunit-containing nAChRs are critically involved in the effects of nicotine withdrawal on trace fear conditioning.

  • The DHβE-precipitated trace fear conditioning deficit implicates high-affinity nAChRs containing α4 and β2/β4 subunits.

    “implicating high-affinity receptors such as those containing the α4, and the β2/β4 nAChR subunits”

  • Systemic NMDA receptor antagonists inhibit acquisition of contextual fear conditioning, and this effect is ameliorated by nicotine acting at α4β2-containing nAChRs.

    “Also, systemic administration of NMDA receptor antagonists inhibits acquisition of contextual fear conditioning [200]. This effect is ameliorated by co-administration of systemic nicotine acting at α4β2-containing nAChRs, as indicated by antagonism with DHβE [200].”

  • Spontaneous withdrawal from chronic nicotine causes deficits in acquisition of trace fear conditioning.

    “Raybuck and Gould [201] demonstrated that spontaneous withdrawal from chronic nicotine leads to deficits in the acquisition of trace fear conditioning.”

  • Withdrawal precipitated by DHβE, but not MLA, produces a trace fear conditioning deficit similar to spontaneous withdrawal.

    “Withdrawal precipitated by DHβE, but not methyllycaconitine (MLA), led to a similar deficit”

  • β2-null mice do not show a trace fear conditioning deficit after spontaneous nicotine withdrawal.

    “β2-null mice were not observed to have a deficit in trace fear conditioning upon spontaneous nicotine withdrawal [201].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
