α-Conotoxin MII (α-CTX MII)-sensitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the anterior cingulate cortex do not appear to regulate motivation for nicotine or associated cues. (a) Infusion of α-CTX MII into the anterior cingulate cortex had no effect on break point, the number of depressions that rats gave for a single delivery of nicotine and cues (NIC, n=7), or cues alone (CUEonly, n=4). (b) Anterior cingulate cortex infusion of α-CTX MII also had no effect on the total number of infusions and/or cues earned by NIC and CUEonly rats.
