===2024 [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014488624002723 Acute nicotine exposure attenuates neurological deficits, ischemic injury and brain inflammatory responses and restores hippocampal long-term potentiation in ischemic stroke followed by lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis-like state]===
*Animal Study
*Taken together, these findings indicate that acute nicotine exposure enhances functional stroke recovery. Future studies will have to evaluate the effects of (1) chronic nicotine exposure, a clinically relevant vascular risk factor, and (2) the cessation of nicotine exposure, which is widely recommended post-stroke, but might have detrimental effects in the early stroke recovery phase.
