Abstract
We conducted an ALE meta-analysis of 130 sets of coordinates from 15 studies examining working memory and nicotine exposure. We identified nine regions with peak activation as a function of nicotine exposure, suggesting nicotine exerts a global influence on working memory, concentrated in brain regions of executive function.
