Study Summary

In the brain, certain nerve cells communicate using a chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is thought to be important for several functions including mood, memory and wakefulness. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of these nerve cells in depression. Also, we would like to understand how nicotine, the study drug, works in depression and how it affects these nerve cells. To do this, brain imaging will be used before and after this treatment.

Primary Outcome

Description: Comparison of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 score at pretreatment and post-treatment. Minimum score 0, maximum possible score 52, with remission defined as \<=7. The higher the score on the scale, the more severe the degree of depression.
