Nicotine inhibits firing activity of dorsal raphe 5-HT neurones in vivo.
It is established that the brain monoaminergic systems are among the main targets of several dependence-inducing drugs, including nicotine. In the present study extracellular electrophysiological recordings were performed to investigate the effects of nicotine on dorsal raphe 5-HT neurones. Nicotine...
