Nicotine alters flash-evoked potentials in Long-Evans rats.

This experiment examined the effects of nicotine on flash-evoked potentials (FEPs) recorded from both the visual cortex (VC) and the superior colliculus (SC) of chronically implanted male Long-Evans rats. FEPs were recorded at 5, 20, 40, and 60 min following subcutaneous injections of saline, and of 0.4, 0.
