If your brain to dissolve into smoke
smokers have over non-smoking persons on a reduced volume of the brain.
The
a research team has found the Psychiatric Clinic of the Charité and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Berlin. Especially the gray matter of the brain is affected. It contains the most nerve cells and localized many brain functions.
that smoking is not healthy should by now be a common finding. Thus, the risk of developing cancer in smokers increased by four times. 80 to 90 percent of lung cancers can be attributed to smoking. But compact addition to the known harmful effects on the lungs, heart and blood vessels in recent years, the evidence that smoking also damages the brain, with effects on intelligence.
In the current study compared the Berlin brain structure of 22 smokers and smokers with those of 23 non-smoking persons. With the help of MRI, the small nerve structures can visualize the brains were measured in three dimensions and in other computer-based steps in size compared.
The result is that the more cigarettes were consumed in life, the less the volume of gray matter. The most affected are brain regions that play a role in attention and memory. This could explain why smokers have a reduced performance in these memory functions.
"But it can not currently be excluded that this substantial reduction in the gray matter, the was found in smokers, already existed, "says the lead investigator in an interview with Jürgen Gallinat pressetext.de. is conceivable that these individuals may have a special affection for smoking. The researchers stressed, however, that the harmful effects of nicotine on brain structure already in use on animals were. is
at the University Hospital Charité now investigated whether the brain structure of smokers and smoker by the exit from the smoking can return to normal. Because of the relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked and the extent the reduction of the brain, has Gallinat in an interview with Radio Germany But then, that by the smoke exit "[has] at least the effect that further deterioration does not occur, and that, I think, is already a very good reason to quit smoking and for these reasons to give up."
