The effects of nicotine, carbachol, hexamethonium and scopolamine were investigated on distress vocalizations (DVs) of acutely isolated domestic chicks. Nicotine atenuated, while the antimuscarinic scopolamine increased the frequency of separation-induced DVs. Furthermore, the stress attenuating effects of nicotine were blocked by pretreatment with scopolamine. These results implicate muscarinic receptor participation in the control of separation-induced distress, and support the suggestion that nicotine-induced DV suppression may result from activation of behaviorally relevant muscarinic receptors via central release of acetylcholine.
