Brain scans reveal why depression may fuel nicotine risk
NCT ID NCT05538910
Summary
This study aims to understand why people with major depression are twice as likely to use nicotine and have a harder time quitting. Researchers will use brain scans (MRI) to see how a single dose of nicotine affects brain function in non-smokers with and without depression. The goal is to uncover the brain mechanisms behind this increased risk, which could inform future strategies to help people with depression avoid nicotine addiction.
