Dept. of Public Health Sciences, 2015.Current pharmacotherapies for treating smoking dependence have profuse side effects and relatively high rates of relapse, and primarily target the brains’ mesocorticolimbic “reward” pathway. Recent evidence suggests that the insular cortex, a central cerebral hemispheric region not part of the mesocorticolimbic structure, may also play an important role in cognitive and emotional processes that facilitate drug use. We hypothesized that current cigarette smokers admitted for ischemic stroke in the insula would demonstrate less severe withdrawal symptoms during admission, greater reduction in smoking-related urges, and a higher likel...
