Timeline of the battery for affective and cognitive behavioral testing following CVE. Mice were exposed to nicotine (NIC) or vehicle (VEH) at a 10-min CVE inter-vape interval for 8 h daily sessions, 5 days per week, for 14 weeks. Additionally, a third group of mice were placed into chambers receiving room air (AIR) at the same time as other mice. Beginning at 3 weeks of CVE, mice were evaluated for anxiety-like behaviors (Open Field Test, Light–Dark Box), depression-like behaviors (Splash Test, Sucrose Preference Test), and cognitive behaviors (acquisition of Sucrose Fixed-Ratio 1 operant self-administration, Progressive Ratio Test, Quinine Test).
