I have a friend who studies nicotine receptors in the medial habenula, which is one of the major input centers to the intrapeduncular nucleus. The intrapeduncular has outputs to the ventral tegmental area which goes to the nucleus accumbens (both involved in pleasure and addictive behavior)...so i suspect that it's important. but there's not one single region involved, and all if the regions have other functions as well. Targeting just one region could have some interesting side effects....in a not good way. interesting though. thanks
Oh, and hi y'all
When CES shows up she does a flyby (well, fly over)
I couldn't find one where they didn't nod off...that's not the intent...I just have almost no idea what you said. However, I get the general point and wondered the same (doubted it was that simple). Just thought I'd mention it.

it was just the long way around of saying that the news story was an overstatement of the potential applications of the results- but it looks like the original is a very cool paper, so thanks
CES, you are the only one I know that I'd bother to copy that link for. That's a complement. Or maybe a sad commentary on my lack of people I'd copy that link for....
However, maybe something great will come of it. Like a drug that's 50x more expensive and has 10x the side effects of nicotine so we can treat nicotine addiction. Or, a vaccine against nicotine. Zombie apocalypse to follow.*
* seriously hoping I didn't just trash anything you're working on...not intentional. Remember I have common bouts of foot-in-mouth.

Hi Tibs
I find that if I leave the kitchen, I care a lot less about what's in there. I'm only reminded the next time I go in
lol - i can leave some ungodly messes but dishes got to be done asap!

hehehe..nope, i take it as a compliment...and glad to get the link. And you forgot to mention the potential side effects of any drug attempting to target that area....probably the same as chantix.

I tried Chantix and Welbutrin, and both did a number on my noggin
Did i mention that i couldn't resist ordering a $40 itaste MVP from 101 vapes....close to coop prices without the wait
Hi CES.

yep, they're likely to do that. I know two people who became suicidal on welbutrin. one was a kid. luckily, for both it got figured out fast and they got off it fast.
