Nicotine aversion is mediated by GABAergic interpeduncular nucleus inputs to laterodorsal tegmentum
Despite its known effects in brain reward centers, nicotine can be aversive in high doses. Here, the authors show that nicotine aversion depends on low-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed on projections from the interpeduncular nucleus to the laterodorsal tegmentum.
