Highlights • We measured event-related potentials to emotional stimuli in young smokers. • k -means cluster analysis was used to divide smokers into two groups. • One group had larger brain responses to pleasant stimuli than cigarette cues. • Another group had larger brain responses to cigarette cue...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We measured event-related potentials to emotional stimuli in young smokers. • k -means cluster analysis was used to divide smokers into two groups. • One group had larger brain responses to pleasant stimuli than cigarette cues. • Another group had larger brain responses to cigarette cues than to pleasant stimuli. • This finding is consistent with previous research on heavy smokers.
