Ozturk B, Pogun S, Kanit L
Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse
. 2019 Dec;
46(4):408-420.
PMID: 31860364
Background: Alcohol and tobacco are among the leading substances that are misused together and shared genetic vulnerability is likely. Increased susceptibility to nicotine self-administration has been shown in alcohol-preferring rat-lines....

Balkan B, Pogun S
Curr Neuropharmacol
. 2017 Jul;
16(4):371-387.
PMID: 28730966
Background: The hypothalamus harbors high levels of cholinergic neurons and axon terminals. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which play an important role in cholinergic neurotransmission, are expressed abundantly in the hypothalamus. Accumulating...

Pogun S, Yararbas G, Nesil T, Kanit L
J Neurosci Res
. 2016 Nov;
95(1-2):148-162.
PMID: 27870459
Smoking is the major cause of preventable deaths worldwide, and although there is a decline in overall smoking prevalence in developed countries, the decline in women is less pronounced than...

Gozen O, Nesil T, Kanit L, Koylu E, Pogun S
Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse
. 2016 Jul;
42(5):556-566.
PMID: 27428758
Background: Nicotine exerts its central actions through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which in turn regulate major neurotransmitter systems including dopamine. Nicotinic and dopaminergic systems play significant roles in physiological functions,...

Nesil T, Kanit L, Pogun S
Pharmacol Biochem Behav
. 2015 Oct;
138:156-63.
PMID: 26436562
Background: Nicotine is the major addictive component in tobacco, and despite well-established adverse health effects of tobacco addiction, some smokers have difficulty quitting. The acute cognitive enhancement and/or the amelioration...

Nesil T, Kanit L, Ugur M, Pogun S
Pharmacol Biochem Behav
. 2015 Feb;
131:91-7.
PMID: 25687373
Background: We have generated high- and low-nicotine preferring (high-NP, low-NP) rat lines using voluntary oral nicotine intake as the selection criterion. After nine generations, the estimated realized heritability for high...

Nesil T, Kanit L, Pogun S
Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse
. 2014 Dec;
41(1):57-67.
PMID: 25490608
Background: Nicotine affects sensory pathways and an interaction between taste and nicotine preference is likely. In addition to pharmacologic effects, orosensory factors are important in nicotine dependence. Recent evidence suggests...

Nesil T, Kanit L, Li M, Pogun S
Behav Genet
. 2013 Aug;
43(5):436-44.
PMID: 23912820
Previous animal studies have revealed significant involvement of genetics in nicotine intake; however, the extent of the genetic contribution to this behavior has not been well addressed. We report the...

Neurosci Lett
. 2013 May;
545:102-6.
PMID: 23643897
Nicotine addiction is a serious health problem resulting in millions of preventable deaths worldwide. The gas messenger molecule nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in addiction, and nicotine increases...
