Reduced inhibitory action of a GABA(B )receptor agonist on [(3)H]-dopamine release from rat ventral tegmental area in vitro after chronic nicotine administration

BACKGROUND: The activation of GABA(B )receptors in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been suggested to attenuate the rewarding properties of psychostimulants, including nicotine. However, the neurochemical mechanism that underlie this effect remains unknown. Since GABA(B )receptors modulate the r...
