Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...
