49 TI - Electroencephalographic responses to photic stimulation in AU AB habitual smokers and nortsmokers. Vogel W; Broverman D ; Klaiber EL Two studies are reported in which electroencephalograms (EEGs) of habitual cigarette smokdrs and of nonsmokers were taken before and after they were reqt~ired to sifioke a cigarette. The EEGs were scored for incidence of EEG "driving" responses to photic stimulation, an index that appears to reflect the balance between central adrenergic and cholinergic nervous systems. The findings suggest that smokers tend to have a central autonomic balance -less in favor of adrenergic functioning than do nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking may alleviate a possible central adrenergic insufficiency of smokers. These findings suggest a solution to "Nesbitt's paradox," which has reference to the f act that while nicotine is a central adrenergic stimulant, smokers describe the effect of smoking in sedational terms (i.e., as relaxing or calming). ~ . .~ ;,,SO - J Comp Physiol Psychol 91(2)=418-22, Apr 77
