| 5-choice serial reaction time task- baseline and nicotine withdrawal | ||
| Schizophrenia model of impaired prepulse inhibition of startle | ||
| Rate of Extinction | 40 | Extinction of Conditioned Place Preference |
| IV Self-administration extinction; extinction of cue-induced reinstatement | ||
| Craving | 42 | Cue, drug and stress-induced reinstatement of CPP |
| Cue, drug and stress-induced reinstatement of self-administration | ||
| Incubation | 43 | Self-administration incubation procedure |
| Non-cognitive withdrawal symptoms | 44 | Chronic Nicotine/Withdrawal regulation of weight and food intake |
| Stress relief | 45 | Extent to which nicotine self-administration (oral or iv) is increased in response to acute or repeated stressors |
| Affective symptoms in withdrawal | 48 | Effect of withdrawal in standard depression/anxiety models, including assessment of anhedonia by ICSS or sucrose preference procedures |
