Although Shoaib et al. interpret this effect as indicating that dizocilpine has blocked the development of locomotor sensitization to nicotine,65,88 more recent evidence indicates that similar effects of co-administration of dizocilpine on the subsequent expression of locomotor sensitization to other drugs may be due to state-dependency.89-91 In other words, animals repeatedly injected with a combination of dizocilpine/nicotine may become sensitized to the combination (and to nicotine), but subsequently fail to express sensitization to nicotine alone, as nicotine does not sufficiently reproduce the sensitized dizocilpine/nicotine state. | |||||||||||||||

Recent evidence suggests that NMDA-mediated neurotransmission is involved in the development of behavioral sensitization of psychostimulants, opioids, and nicotine.84,85 As reviewed by Wolf,86 several investigators have found that co-administration of non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists such as dizocilpine (MK-801), during repeated injections of these addictive drugs interferes with the development or subsequent expression of locomotor sensitization. | |||||||||||||||

|
To resolve this controversy, Kelsey et al. attempted to determine if the effects of the glutamate NMDA receptor blocker dizocilpine (MK801) on nicotine locomotor sensitization are due to a blockade of the development of sensitization or to state-dependency.92 They concluded that co-administration of a low dose of dizocilpine can block the development of locomotor sensitization to repeated injections of nicotine without producing state-dependency, and thus NMDA receptor activation appears to be critical for the development, but not the subsequent expression, of nicotine locomotor sensitization. | |||||||||||||||

Rather than mediated by an extrinsic state system as originally proposed, sensitization induced by a repetitive primary stimulus could be expressed in the primary pathway(s) as with habituation, thus evidencing primary sensitization. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Under this nomenclature, we define primary and secondary sensitization as sensitization expressed in the primary or secondary pathway, respectively, regardless of any extrinsic influences on the corresponding induction process (Fig. 1A). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The simplest example is a primary integrator-differentiator pair in the form of a sensitization-habituation complex produced by repetitive application of a primary stimulus, as demonstrated in the classic hindlimb flexion reflex of the spinal cat or the rat acoustic startle reflex shown in the dual-process theory [9-11]. | |||||||||||||||

|
The notion of primary and secondary sensitization introduced in Section 2 underscores a novel behavioral paradigm we call nonassociative gating. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Such learning-dependent gating has been suggested to account for the bilateral expression of dishabituation vis-à-vis ipsilateral expression of sensitization in this experimental preparation [69,71].

|
In a recent model of tail-elicited siphon withdrawal in Aplysia [69,71], however, dishabituation is expressed in reflex pathways both ipsilateral or contralateral to the primary stimulus even though habituation and sensitization are expressed only in the pathway ipsilateral to the primary stimulus. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As pointed out by Prescott [31], it is important to distinguish the induction and expression phases of sensitization. | |||||||||||||||

Such learning-dependent gating has been suggested to account for the bilateral expression of dishabituation vis-à-vis ipsilateral expression of sensitization in this experimental preparation [69,71].
