TABLE 1.

TCE lever selection and operant response rates produced by nicotine, mecamylamine, morphine, dizocipline (MK-801), and (PCP)

Data represent the first minute of each 5-min test session. Numerals in brackets indicate the number of animals in the group that emitted sufficient responses to be included in this determination.
