Effects of combined systemic alcohol and central nicotine administration into ventral tegmental area on dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that the reinforcing effects of ethanol are at least partially mediated through the nicotinic receptors in the VTA, and suggest that the combined effects of nicotine and ethanol on the "reward pathway" may be a contributing factor to the high incidence of smoking in alcoholics.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evidence based alcohol screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) curriculum for emergency department (ED) providers improves skills and utilization

Journal ArticleDOI
