Figure 1. Enduring effects of fluoxetine (FLX; 20 mg/kg) exposure on cocaine-induced place conditioning.

Figure 1

(a) Three-weeks after adolescent antidepressant exposure (postnatal day [PD]-75), FLX-pretreated mice displayed enhanced sensitivity to 5 and 10 mg/kg cocaine, when compared to vehicle (VEH)-pretreated mice (n = 8–11 per group; *p < 0.05). (b) Conversely, adult FLX-pretreatment did not influence preference for the cocaine-paired side, three-weeks after antidepressant exposure (PD 105; n = 7–10 per group; p > 0.05). Regardless of age, VEH-and FLX-pretreated mice displayed reliable conditioning to cocaine (αp < 0.05). *Within cocaine group comparison (p < 0.05). αSignificantly different when compared to age-matched controls conditioned to saline (p < 0.05).
