Title
Changes of Brain Potentials in Response to Smoking-Induced Stimuli in Smokers.
Abstract
Changes in P300 amplitude were used as an indicator of reactivity to smoking-related stimuli in smokers. The amplitude of P300 - a component of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) elicited by 10 smoking-related ( craving), 10 antismoking ( aversive) and 10 neutral stimuli was recorded in smokers ( n = 10) and nonsmokers ( n = 10). Electroencephalography ( EEG) data were obtained by the Laxtha EEG-monitoring device in the EEG recording room, and were recorded at F3, F4, C3, and C4. Three-way repeated-measures analysis of variance ( ANOVA) was computed on the P300 amplitudes. The factors were group ( smokers, nonsmokers), stimulus ( craving, aversive, neutral), and electrode location ( F3, F4, C3, and C4). The main effects of stimulus were significant, but the group effects did not show significant interactions with other factors. An interesting observation was the similarity between P300 waveforms for craving and aversive stimuli in smokers. These findings could indicate that the antismoking-related response is similar to the smoking-related one.
