a The Gene KEGG pathways related to “behavior”: learning, memory and fear response. b Schematic of zones in the open field arena and representative traces of with and without nicotine administration mice movement. Enter mid area times (n = 12, biologically independent samples/group) and mid stay time (n = 12, biologically independent samples/group) in open field arena. c The alternation of aged mice with or without nicotine in the Y-maze test (n = 6, biologically independent samples/group). dh Behavioral performance of animals in the Morris water maze (n = 6,  biologically independent samples/group). Average escape latencies of aged mice with or without nicotine. Escape latencies of aged mice in the explored day, total number of errors in target zone, and percentage time spent in the four quadrants. Data are means ± SEM. p values were determined by two-sided Student’s t test (b, c, f, g), or two-way ANOVA analysis and Fisher’s least significant difference (e, h).
