Abstract
ABSTRACT Computer analysis of EEG data, recorded under both resting and work conditions following smoking, was compared to the appropriate control data in 6 male subjects. Following digitizing, a Power Spectral Analysis was performed which revealed significant reductions in the peak alpha frequency component up to 20 min following smoking, during a visual task. Eyes open resting data showed a similar but not significant loss, after 8 min. No indications of increased fast activity were found. These results were related to comparable work on animals and humans. A suggestion was made as to the relevance of these changes.

The form of spectral analysis most applicable to EEG is tutorially presented, using both algebraic formulae and four simplified illustrative examples, and discussion of the assumptions underlying spectral analysis prepares the method for application to actual EEG.
NaturePharmacological Basis for the Tobacco Smoking Habit
140 Citations1968A. K. ARMITAGE, Geoffrey Hall +1 more
Small amounts of nicotine injected intravenously usually increased the lever pressing activity of rats and caused a change in the EEG of cats indicative of cortical activation, consistent with the subjective impression of some smokers that inhalation of tobacco smoke causes them to be more alert and efficient.

135 Citations1951A.C. Mundy‐Castle
Evidence was presented to suggest that beta activity may in part at least represent accelerated rhythms resultant on scansion of cortical projection and association areas, and a highly significant relationship between beta incidence and alpha type was found to support this hypothesis, although the study needs repetition with the aid of automatic frequency analysis before certainty can be established.

It is concluded that the behavioral arousal and EEG desynchronizing effects of nicotine are due primarily to an action on the central nervous system rather than peripheral afferent stimulation or release of various neurohormones.

The ability of nicotine to penetrate into the central nervous system has been demonstrated dramatically in both the mouse and the cat by Schmiterlow and Hansson (1965), using autoradiographic techniques.
International Journal of NeuropharmacologyAction of nicotine on the ascending reticular activating system
59 Citations1962D.E. Knapp, E.F. Domino
It is tentatively concluded that a likely mechanism by which nicotine produces EEG activation is by mimicking, or possibly releasing, acetylcholine in the central nervous system, as well as the central effects of nicotine analogs, particularly non-quarternary analogs.

59 Citations1965Edward F. Domino, Ken-ichi Yamamoto
Although peripheral afferent stimulation, release of epinephrine, and arginine vasopressin contribute to the initial arousal effects, the primary action of nicotine appears to be on the central nervous system.

Ratios discriminate between two experimental conditions and two subjects, while showing stability over days, thus extending the usefulness of graphic correlograms in research.
