This paper aims to identify the psychoactive effects of nicotine on neurocognitive activities, focusing primarily on memory, learning, and attention. It will begin by analyzing the role of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, with particular emphasis on nicotinic receptors and their underlying mechanisms. Subsequently, it will explore the properties and mechanisms of action of nicotine, concentrating on its effects on cognitive functions and examining various related experiments. Finally, the topic of nicotine replacement therapy will be addressed, with particular attention to the product "Nicorette" and its role in cognitive abilities.
Questo elaborato si propone di individuare gli effetti psicoattivi della nicotina sulle attività neurocognitive, focalizzandosi principalmente sulla memoria e l’apprendimento, e sull’attenzione. Verrà inizialmente analizzato il ruolo dell’acetilcolina sul sistema nervoso centrale, ponendo particolare attenzione ai recettori nicotinici e ai meccanismi che sottostanno ad essi. In seguito, verranno approfonditi gli aspetti relativi alle proprietà e al meccanismo d’azione della nicotina, focalizzandoci sugli effetti che scaturisce nelle funzioni cognitive e portando in esame vari esperimenti condotti al riguardo. In conclusione, verrà trattato il tema della terapia sostitutiva a base di nicotina, in particolare il prodotto “Nicorette” e il suo ruolo nelle capacità cognitive.

Abstract
This paper aims to identify the psychoactive effects of nicotine on neurocognitive activities, focusing primarily on memory, learning, and attention. It will begin by analyzing the role of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, with particular emphasis on nicotinic receptors and their underlying mechanisms. Subsequently, it will explore the properties and mechanisms of action of nicotine, concentrating on its effects on cognitive functions and examining various related experiments. Finally, the topic of nicotine replacement therapy will be addressed, with particular attention to the product "Nicorette" and its role in cognitive abilities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
