Abstract
⺠We examined developmental effects of nicotine on contextual learning. ⺠We examined age-related changes in nAChR binding and CREB expression. ⺠Age-related differences existed in the effects of nicotine on contextual learning. ⺠Age-related differences in nAChR binding were associated with withdrawal deficits. ⺠Chronic nicotine exposure during adolescence impaired learning during adulthood.
