THE REGIONS most commonly found to be abnormal in functional brain imaging studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) are the prefrontal cortex (PFC), anterior cingulate gyrus (AC), and temporal lobe (TEMP).1-4 Because there are reports of both increased and decreased activity in these structures in MDD, researchers have suspected that subregions of these structures have differentially altered function in MDD. Specifically, it has been hypothesized that dorsal brain structures (eg, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC]) have decreased activity,1-3,5-7 while ventral structures (eg, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex [VLPFC] and ventral AC) have increased activity in the symptomatic depressed state.3,5,6,8

DESPITE NEW medication options for nicotine dependence, abstinence rates after 6 months or more of treatment remain relatively low at 14% to 35.5%.1-5 A possible route to the development of more effective treatments is through a better understanding of the neurobiological substrates of cigarette craving, because the severity of craving has repeatedly been linked with relapse in smokers attempting to quit.6-9

Tobacco dependence (primarily through cigarette smoking) is a major risk factor for death and disability worldwide.1,2 This condition is relatively resistant to treatment, as evidenced by the fact that most smokers endorse a desire to quit3 but very few are able to do so on their own4 and fewer than half are able to quit long-term even with comprehensive treatment.3,5 A greater understanding of the mechanisms that underlie tobacco dependence may aid in the development of improved treatments for this condition.
