Abstract

Previous neuroimaging studies of cognition involving nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist administration have repeatedly found enhanced task-induced deactivation of regions of the default mode network (DMN), a group of brain systems that is more active at rest and mediates task-independent thought processes. This effect may be related to pro-cognitive nAChR agonist effects OBJECTIVES: The present study sought to test whether nAChR modulation of the DMN is bi-directional, i.e., whether a nAChR antagonist would reduce task-induced deactivation. Eighteen healthy non-smokers underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while performing a letter N-back task. Scans were performed after nicotine administration (7 mg/24 h, transdermally), after administration of the nAChR antagonist mecamylamine (7.5 mg, p.o.), and after double placebo, in counterbalanced sequence. Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal was analyzed within ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) regions of interest-central hubs of the DMN in which consistent nAChR agonist-induced changes had previously been identified. Nicotine enhanced hit rate in both the 0-back and 2-back condition, while mecamylamine slowed rea...Continue Reading
