Hyperactivity Induced By Vapor Inhalation of Nicotine in Male and Female Rats

This study compares the effects of nicotine inhalation and injection on locomotor activity and body temperature in male and female rats, finding sex-specific differences in response.

Oxycodone Self-Administration in Female Rats is Enhanced by Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, but not by Cannabidiol, in a Progressive Ratio Procedure

This study shows THC enhances oxycodone self-administration in female rats under progressive ratio schedules, while CBD reduces it in fixed ratio schedules.

Adult consequences of repeated nicotine and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapor inhalation in adolescent rats

This study examines the long-term effects of adolescent nicotine and THC vapor exposure in rats, finding lasting impacts on activity and drug sensitivity into adulthood.

Rats Chasing the Dragon: A new heroin inhalation method

This study demonstrates that vaporized heroin can be effectively administered to rats via inhalation, producing antinociceptive effects and self-administration behavior similar to other routes.

Adult consequences of repeated nicotine vapor inhalation in adolescent rats

This study examines the long-term behavioral effects of adolescent nicotine vapor exposure in rats, finding increased nicotine self-administration in females but minimal impact on locomotor activity.

The long-term effects of repeated heroin vapor inhalation during adolescence on measures of nociception and anxiety-like behavior in adult Wistar rats

This study examines the long-term effects of adolescent heroin vapor inhalation on nociception and anxiety-like behavior in adult rats, finding persistent physiological and behavioral changes.

Behavioral effects of ethanol in the Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)

This study evaluates the behavioral effects of ethanol in Red Swamp Crayfish, showing dose-dependent changes in locomotion and anxiety-like behavior.

Vapor exposure to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) slows locomotion of the Maine Lobster (Homarus americanus)

This study exposes Maine lobsters to THC vapor and finds reduced locomotion but minimal effect on nociception.

THC modifies the impact of heroin delivered by vapor inhalation in rats

This study investigates the interaction between heroin and THC in rats, finding additive effects on thermal nociception but opposing effects on temperature and activity.

Distinguishing the behavioral potencies of α-pyrrolidino-phenone cathinone stimulants

This study compares the behavioral effects of three cathinone stimulants in rats, finding similar stimulant activity with minor differences in potency and duration.

Antinociceptive, hypothermic, and appetitive effects of vaped and injected Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rats: exposure and dose-effect comparisons by strain and sex

This study compares the antinociceptive, hypothermic, and appetitive effects of vaped and injected THC in rats, showing dose-dependent effects and differences in behavioral outcomes between routes.

A vapor exposure method for delivering heroin alters nociception, body temperature and spontaneous activity in female and male rats

This paper develops a vapor exposure method to deliver heroin to rats, showing it alters nociception, body temperature, and activity in both sexes.

Explication of CB1 receptor contributions to the hypothermic effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) when delivered by vapor inhalation or parenteral injection in rats

This study investigates how CB1 receptor activation contributes to THC-induced hypothermia via inhalation or injection in rats, finding that CB1 antagonists only partially block or alter the hypothermic response.

Female rats self-administer heroin by vapor inhalation

This study shows that female rats self-administer heroin via e-cigarette vapor, producing anti-nociceptive effects similar to intravenous administration and inducing withdrawal-like anxiety.

Lasting effects of repeated Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapor inhalation during adolescence in male and female rats

This study examines the lasting effects of repeated THC vapor inhalation during adolescence in rats, finding sex-specific changes in thermoregulation, food intake, and drug self-administration.

Vapor inhalation of cannabidiol (CBD) in rats

This study evaluates the effects of CBD vapor inhalation in rats, finding concentration-related plasma levels and dose-related hypothermia, with no effect on nociception.

Effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapor inhalation in Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rats

This study compares hypothermic and anti-nociceptive effects of inhaled THC between Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rats, finding strain differences in hypothermia despite similar plasma THC levels.

Effects of Nicotine and THC Vapor Inhalation Administered by An Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) in Male Rats

This study examines the effects of nicotine and THC vapor from ENDS on male rats, showing nicotine-induced locomotion and hypothermia, with additive and opposing effects when combined with THC.

Effects Of Δ9-THC And Cannabidiol Vapor Inhalation In Male And Female Rats

This study compares thermoregulatory and locomotor responses to THC, CBD, and their combination inhaled via vapor in male and female rats, finding equivalent effects with subtle sex differences.

High Ambient Temperature Facilitates The Acquisition Of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) Self-Administration

This study shows that high ambient temperature increases MDMA self-administration in rats, suggesting an aversive effect rather than thermoregulatory motivation.
