Exposure to nicotine changes the way your brain functions. Let's imagine your brain as a computer. Like a computer, your brain processes, stores and uses information. In a computer, information travels in the form of electricity moving through wires; information transfer is a binary process, wi...

gums, nasal sprays, inhalers and lozenges. The objective in using nicotine replacement therapy is to break the habit of smoking, while gradually overcoming the physical addiction to nicotine. These methods provide a low dosage of nicotine without the harmful tars and other contaminants found in cig...
It enhances memory and learning by increasing the level of the brain chemical acetylcholine. Paradoxically, nicotine has the potential to act as both a stimulant and a relaxant. It can make you more alert when you’re tired, and calm you down when you’re anxious. ...

this protein also functioned less well in theprefrontal cortex, the part of the brain involved in cognitive functions, such as decision making and planning. The protein prevents overstimulation ofnerve cells. However, the activity of the nicotine-damaged protein could be restored by administering ...

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors in the brain are more commonly associated with modulatory events than mediation of synaptic transmission. nACh receptors have a high permeability for Ca(2+), and Ca(2+) signals are pivotal in shaping nACh receptor-mediated neuromodulatory effects. In...
