Genetically heterogenous stock (HS) mice are being used to develop lines which have differential locomotor response to subcutaneously administered (0.75 mg/kg) nicotine. These groups of nicotine-depressed, nicotine-activated or randomly bred control mice were tested as to conditioned place preference using the same dose of nicotine employed to determine their locomotor performance in activity tests. Results indicate that the nicotine-activated mice showed a significantly greater preference to nicotine when compared to the nicotine-depressed mice; this effect was seen in the first generation and continued in the more recently tested third generation. Evidence is offered to support the hypothesis that it is the stimulatory effects of drugs (of abuse) that can be directly correlatable with the strength of their reinforcing effect upon behavior.
