Differences between nicotine-abstinent smokers and non-smokers in terms of visuospatial attention and inhibition before and after single-blind nicotine administration

Highlights • The effect of nicotine on visuospatial attention and inhibition was assessed. • Differences between nicotine-abstinent smokers and non-smokers were explored. • Baseline differences pertaining to visuospatial attention and inhibition were absent. • Nicotine seemed to induce speeding of i...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The effect of nicotine on visuospatial attention and inhibition was assessed. • Differences between nicotine-abstinent smokers and non-smokers were explored. • Baseline differences pertaining to visuospatial attention and inhibition were absent. • Nicotine seemed to induce speeding of inhibition in non-smokers relative to smokers. • Results indicate possible nicotine-tolerance in smokers.
