Summary
This study looks at how tough childhood experiences change brain function and reactions to nicotine in 150 non-smoking young adults aged 18-21. Participants receive a tiny dose of nicotine or a placebo nasal spray, then answer questions and have brain scans. The goal is to understand why some people are more likely to start smoking, not to treat or cure any condition.
