In various studies nicotine has shown to alter cognitive functions in non-smoking subjects.
The physiological basis for these effects might be nicotine-generated modulation of cortical …

Nicotine improves cognitive functions by modulating neuroplasticity and cortical excitability
in nonsmoking subjects. As shown recently, the positive effect of nicotine on cognition might …

Nicotine improves cognitive performance and modulates neuroplasticity in brain networks.
The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying nicotine-induced behavioral changes have …

Nicotine modulates neuroplasticity and improves cognitive functions in animals and
humans. In the brain of smoking individuals, calcium-dependent plasticity induced by non …

Key points Nicotine (NIC) modulates cognition and memory function by targeting the
nicotinic ACh receptor and releasing different transmitter systems postsynaptically. With both …

The impact of nicotine (NIC) on plasticity is thought to be primarily determined via calcium
channel properties of nicotinic receptor subtypes, and glutamatergic plasticity is likewise …

Nicotine alters cognitive functions in animals and humans most likely by modification of
brain plasticity. In the human brain, it alters plasticity induced by transcranial direct current …

Nicotine, the neuroactive compound responsible for tobacco addiction, is primarily believed
to have beneficial effects on the adult brain. However, in heavy smokers, abstinence from …

Nicotine is recognized as one of the most addictive drugs, which in part could be attributed
to progressive neuroadaptations and rewiring of dorsal striatal circuits. Since motorskill …

Nicotine modulates cognition and neuroplasticity in smokers and non-smokers. A possible
mechanism for its effect on learning and memory performance is its impact on long-term …
