. (1971). The Effects o f Maternal Nicotine Absorption or Hypoxic Episodes upon Appetitive Behavior o f RatOffspring. DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOBIOLOGY, 4(2): 133-147. Offspring of rats which had received either daily nicotine injections or hypoxic episodes throughout gestation were tested at adulthood on various appetitive schedules in a double-bar Foringer chamber. The hypoxic offspring and the offspring whose mothers had received nicotine throughout gestation and the nursing period performed more poorly on fixed-ratio, variable interval discrimination, and discrimination reversal schedules. Possible explanatory hypotheses are discussed. fetus neonate nicotine hypoxia appetitive schedules laboratory rat
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
