Chronic cigarette smoking is associated with numerous abnormalities in brain neurobiology,
but few studies specifically investigated the chronic effects of smoking (compared to the
acute effects of smoking, nicotine administration, or nicotine withdrawal) on cerebral
perfusion (ie, blood flow). Predominately middle-aged male (47±11 years of age) smokers
(n= 34) and non-smokers (n= 27) were compared on regional cortical perfusion measured
by continuous arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance studies at 4 Tesla. Smokers …
