Nicotine and Other Tobacco Compounds in Neurodegenerative and Psychiatric Diseases: Epidemiological Data on Smoking and Preclinical and Clinical Data on Nicotine provides a comprehensive summary of the epidemiological data on smoking and several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and ADHD, as well as preclinical and clinical data on the effects of nicotine. Despite the obvious and undisputed harmful nature of smoking, evidence suggests that some tobacco and tobacco smoke-derived constituents may offer neuroprotective effects, possibly in combinations, rather than individually. This unprecedented book describes the complex relationships between smoking and neurological disease and the bioactive compounds found in tobacco. It provides a comprehensive review of nicotine and other compounds found in tobacco plant, with scientific evidence of neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects that may act in conjunction with nicotine to exert neuroprotective effects observed in smokers. By presenting findings beyond harmful cigarette smoke effects, attention can be drawn to individual compounds of tobacco that may serve as inspiration for further therapy development.Presents the first comprehensive, tabulated summary of literature on the epidemiological data on smoking and neurological diseaseIncludes preclinical and clinical data on nicotine in neurological diseases and mechanisms of action of nicotine in neuroprotectionFeatures a comprehensive summary of non-nicotine smoke constituents with potentially neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory propertiesDiscusses Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson Disease, Schizophrenia, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety and Tourette Syndrome in the context of smoking and nicotine
