*Animal Study
*The major finding of the present study is that chronic nicotine treatment reverses hypothyroidism-induced learning, short-term memory, and longterm memory impairment. This is indicated by the ability of chronic nicotine treatment to normalize the performance of hypothyroid rats in the RAWM spatial learning and memory tasks. Chronic nicotine treatment also reverses the hypothyroidism-induced impairment of E-LTP and L-LTP, the widely accepted electrophysiological correlates of cognitive function (Bliss and Collingridge, 1993).
