Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- Understand basic differences between developing and adult brain responses to nicotine
- Understand that different tobacco products may produce different responses in the brain
- Understand neural consequences of termination of nicotine administration
General NCTOH attendees. No particular expertise is required, as this is geared towards those who are not expert in addiction.
Key Points:
This breakout group will give an overview of three main areas of nicotine’s effect on the brain. The first area, adolescent brains on nicotine, will include such topics as differences in neurological responses to nicotine, and differences in behaviors produced by nicotine administration, between youth and adult tobacco users. The second area will discuss how the brain responds to different nicotine and tobacco products, including differences in routes of administration, delivery options, and formulations. The third area will discuss how the brain responds when nicotine administration is terminated.
Educational Experience:
Speakers will deliver state-of-the-science overviews of their respective topics, designed to provide attendees with an educational experience related to the most important and recent findings from their research labs and others.
Benefits:
This breakout group will provide a basic foundation for understanding brain responses to nicotine. From here, attendees will be better able to understand more in-depth presentations and seminars throughout the conference. Attendees will also be able to integrate this knowledge into their practice.
