Overexpression of Cancer- and Neurotransmitter-Associated Genes in the Nucleus Accumbens of Smokers

2022-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The effects of smoking in the human brain were explored at the molecular level in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), a key brain region involved in tobacco addiction. Gene expression data from post-mortem NAcc were analyzed according to smoking habits: Never smokers, Former smokers and Current smokers at the time of death. The effect of smoking was determined using an ANCOVA model, controlling for potential confounders...
