摘要: Understanding nicotine's neurobiological and cognitive mechanisms may help explain both its addictive properties potential therapeutic applications. As such, functional MRI was used to determine the neural substrates of effects on a sustained attention (rapid visual information-processing) task. Performance associated with activation in fronto-parietal-thalamic network smokers nonsmokers. Along subtle behavioral deficits, mildly abstinent showed less task-induced brain parietal cortex caudate than did Transdermal nicotine replacement improved task performance increased cortex, thalamus, caudate, while induced generalized increase occipital activity. These data suggest that improves by enhancing areas traditionally attention, arousal, motor activation.
