* While smoking has been associated with many negative consequences to human health, one possible benefit is that nicotine could improve cognitive functions. Previous studies have suggested that smoking may influence brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels.

* Our research revealed that tobacco product use led to an increase in working memory and human plasma BDNF levels. Furthermore, nicotine was responsible for the elevation in BDNF levels, which showed dose-dependent increases in both serum and the hippocampus, and improved memory performance.

* Animal study (rat)
