Abstract: Rationale and objectivesA potential reason that cigarette smoking can persist despite multiple quit attempts is that repeated voluntary nicotine intake may facilitate a transition from goal-directed to habitual behavioral control. Although accelerated habit formation for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2021.108756
Abstract: Women have more difficulty maintaining smoking cessation than men, and experience greater withdrawal symptomatology as well as higher prevalence of relapse. Further, currently available treatments for smoking cessation, such as the nicotine patch and varenicline,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/adb.12819
Abstract: Stress is known to influence smoking relapse. Experimental studies indicate that acute stress increases nicotine‐seeking behavior, yet neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, we investigated disrupted excitatory neural activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0468-22.2023
Abstract: Abstract Nicotine robustly sustains smoking behavior by acting as a primary reinforcer and by enhancing the incentive salience of the nicotine-associated stimuli. The motivational effects produced by environmental cues associated with nicotine delivery can progressively… read more here.
