Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESAversive conditions in a certain context trigger associative learning processes, which allow organisms to learn and anticipate potentially dangerous events. Exposure to conspecific alarm substance (CAS) has been used for modeling fear responses in zebrafish and the cholinergic system plays a role in cognitive functions. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate whether nicotine modulates contextual fear conditioning responses in zebrafish and a putative involvement of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in associative learning. Fish were exposed to 1 mg/L nicotine and further transferred to experimental tanks in the absence or presence of 3.5 mL/L CAS for 5 min (training se...
