Bidirectional genetic and phenotypic links between smoking and striatal iron content involving dopaminergic and inflammatory pathways

2024-09-27

Abstract excerpt

Tobacco smoking is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular and lung diseases. A better understanding of its neurobiological underpinnings will benefit the prevention of smoking-related illnesses and mortality. Recent neuroimaging studies have identified a correlation between smoking and iron concentration in the brain’s striatum, a subcortical region involved in habit formation and compulsive behaviour,...
