Senior scientist Dr Jeffrey Meyer and colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health discovered that MAO-A levels in the brain regions that control mood rose by 25 percent 8 hours after withdrawal from heavy cigarette smoking. MAO-A “eats up” chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, that help maintain a normal mood. When MAO-A levels are higher, as in early cigarette withdrawal, it means this removal process is overly active, making people feel sad. For this study, MAO-A was detected using a brain imaging technique called positron emission tomography. These levels were much higher than in a comparison group of non-smoking study participants.—Internet
