Acute nicotine administration effects on fractional anisotropy of cerebral white matter and associated attention performance

Introduction: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are present in the cerebral white matter (WM). We hypothesized that WM response to nicotine can be detected by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI); and that such responses may be associated with nicotine-led cognitive enhancement in sustained attention. Met...
