A caterpillar that has a unique defence mechanism against some of their predators such as wolf spiders, find researchers.
Studying Zebrafish Brains and Nicotine
While researching neural pathways, it helps to establish an analogous relationship between a region of the human brain and the brains of more easily studied animal species.

The researchers discovered the odd "defensive halitosis" while they were trying to find out how hornworm caterpillars could eat tobacco plants and survive despite the toxicity of nicotine within the tissues of plants.
The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Nicotine Withdrawal Traced to Very Specific Group of Neurons
Nicotine withdrawal doesn't take over your brain but it might take over your body. The symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are driven by a very specific group of neurons within a very specific brain region.

Risk of Nicotine Addiction Linked With Stress Hormone Levels During Pregnancy
A new study suggests that the risk of nicotine addiction is high among adult women whose mothers had increased levels of stress hormones during their pregnancy.

Free Supply of Nicotine Patches can Increase Number of Patients Who Quit Smoking Before Surgery
A new study suggests that introducing patients to a simple four-part program can help increase the number of patients who manage to quit smoking before surgery.
