or "Topamax" - has an interesting side effect. As shown by studies on laboratory animals conducted by American biochemist, he not only prevents the development of seizures, but also blocks the release of dopamine neurons and thereby prevents the action of nicotine on the brain. Moreover - topiramate simultaneously slows the formation of the brain and other activating mediators, such as norepinephrine and serotonin.
           "The ability of topiramate to block excessive formation of norepinephrine and serotonin and thus reduce the central effects of nicotine can be extremely important for medicine, - said Stephen Devi, a member of the research team. - Current pharmacological methods of smoking cessation based on the same principle - replacement cigarette nicotine of its purified product. Our discovery will allow to achieve the same goal easier by reducing the sensation of pleasure a person experiences when smoking. "
