IRVINE, Calif., May 13 (AScribe Newswire) -- The adolescent brain appears to be more responsive to nicotine's rewarding effects than the adult brain, a UC Irvine Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (TTURC) animal study has found.
In addition, the researchers found that the first exposure to nicotine during adolescence changes subsequent behavioral responses to the drug. These findings may help explain why teen smokers are prone to continue the habit into adulthood.
The study is the first of its kind to show the rapid changes in the brain and behavior of adolescents after just a single administration of nicotine. Study results appeared in the online version of Psychopharmacology.
