[Abstract] In recent years, with the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging,more and more researchers use this technique to explore the neurobiological mechanisms of nicotine dependence. This paper had summarized the brain functional imaging studies progress of nicotinic neuropharmacological effects, and confirmed that nicotine dependence is related to the reward system, the brain regions typically used for cognition and craving.These findings will provide objective evidence for people to understand the brain functional change of nicotine dependence, thus in-depth understanding of brain function associated with nicotine dependence may contribute to improved pharmacological and behavioral smoking cessation treatment.
