Nicotine Metabolite May Improve Memory, Protect Against Disease


Scientists continue to explore the remarkable protective effect of nicotine -- the addictive chemical in tobacco -- on the brain.

Another new study shows that nicotine can help improve some of the learning and memory problems associated with hypothyroidism. Such studies suggest that nicotine -- or drugs that mimic nicotine -- may one day prove beneficial in the treatment of neurological disorders.
