In conscious rats, the dose-response curves of muscarinic agonists arecoline and pilocarpine, cholinesterase inhibitors soman and physostigmine rather than GABA receptor antagonist pentylenetetrazol or glycine receptor antagonist strychnine for producing EEG seizures were shifted leftwards by acutely repeated injections of nicotine.

The results of this study indicate that 1) glycine and GABA effect cooperative inhibition of low-threshold mechanical input in the spinal cord of the rat; and 2) BIC-allodynia arises from the blockade of GABA (A) receptors and is unrelated to any secondary anticholinesterase activity.

The cholinesterase inhibitor eserine (10 microM) increased the duration of swimming episodes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
After locally blocking inhibitory potentials with 2 microM strychnine and 40 microM bicuculline, the reliability of spike firing and the amplitude of fast, on-cycle, excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) underlying the single on-cycle spikes were measured during fictive swimming. 3.
