===2018 [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29795403/ Nicotine normalizes cortico-striatal connectivity in non-smoking individuals with major depressive disorder]===
*In [[Abbreviations|'''MDD''']], acute nicotine administration normalized both pathways to the level of healthy controls, while having no impact on healthy controls. These results indicate that nicotine normalizes dysfunctional cortico-striatal communication in unmedicated non-smokers with MDD.

===2018 [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6129985/ Transdermal Nicotine for the Treatment of Mood and Cognitive Symptoms in Non-Smokers with Late-Life Depression]===
*[[Abbreviations|Late '''Life Depression (LLD)''']] is characterized by poor antidepressant response and cognitive dysfunction. Late life depression has no currently approved treatment that improves both its mood and cognitive symptoms.
*We observed robust response (86.7%) and remission rates (53.3%). There was a significant decrease in MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating scale) over the study, with improvement seen as early as three weeks. We also observed improvement in apathy and rumination. We did not observe improvement on the CPT (Conners Continuous Performance Test), but did observe improvement in subjective cognitive performance and signals of potential drug effects on secondary cognitive measures of working memory, episodic memory, and self-referential emotional processing.

===2002 [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11995405/ Relationship between mood improvement and sleep changes with acute nicotine administration in non-smoking major depressed patients]===
*Acute administration of nicotine patches produced rapid eye movement sleep (REM) increases in non-smoking major depressed patients as well as clinical improvement in mood. Antidepressant effect was also observed after four continuous days of nicotine administration.

===1999 [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s002130050879 Antidepressant effects of nicotine in an animal model of depression]===
*Animal Study
*Epidemiological studies indicate a high incidence of cigarette smoking among depressed individuals. Moreover, individuals with a history of depression have a much harder time giving up smoking. It has been postulated that smoking may reflect an attempt at self-medication with nicotine by these individuals.
*The data strongly implicate the involvement of central nicotinic receptors in the depressive characteristics of the [[Abbreviations|'''FSL''']] rats, and suggest that nicotinic agonists may have therapeutic benefits in depressive disorders

===1998 [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9592048/ A novel effect of nicotine on mood and sleep in major depression]===
*Transdermal nicotine patches increased REM sleep in normal volunteers and depressed patients during 4 days of continuous administration. In addition, a significant improvement of mood was observed in depressed patients. Nicotinic mechanisms may be involved in depression.  These findings suggest that nicotine receptor activation may be important in major depression and shows for the first time that nicotine patches may be useful in the treatment of depression.
