Abstract
⺠We examined human [11C]Ro15 4513 PET binding in nicotine addiction. ⺠Higher limbic GABAA availability in volunteers with a history of cigarette smoking. ⺠Higher limbic GABAA receptor availability continues with abstinence. ⺠Suggests that limbic GABAA receptor system is dysregulated in nicotine addiction. ⺠Higher GABAA receptor availability may be a trait marker for nicotine addiction.
