AbstractHow nicotine acts on developing neurocircuitry in adolescence to promote later addiction vulnerability remains largely unknown, but may hold the key for informing more effective intervention efforts. We found transient nicotine exposure in early adolescent (PND 21-28) male mice was sufficient to produce a marked vulnerability to nicotine in adulthood (PND 60 + ), associated with disrupted functional connectivity in dopaminergic circuits.

AbstractNicotine use during adolescence is largely associated with negative long-term outcomes, including addiction to nicotine in adulthood. How nicotine acts on developing neurocircuitry in adolescence remains largely unknown, but may hold the key for informing more effective intervention efforts. We found transient nicotine exposure in early adolescence was sufficient for adult mice to show a marked vulnerability to nicotine.
