In animal models, exposure to cigarette smoke or nicotine during fetal development alters the expression of the
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in areas of the brainstem important
for autonomic function, 28 alters the neuronal excitability of neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (a brainstem region important
for sensory integration), 29 and alters fetal autonomic activity and medullary neurotransmitter receptors.30 In human infants, there are strong associations between
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and serotonin receptors in the brainstem during development.31 Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke attenuates recovery from hypoxia in preterm infants, 32 decreases heart rate variability in preterm33 and term34 infants, and abolishes the normal relationship between heart rate and gestational age at birth.33 Moreover, infants of smoking mothers exhibit impaired arousal patterns to trigeminal stimulation in proportion to urinary cotinine levels.35 It is important to note also that prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke alters the normal programming of cardiovascular reflexes such that there is a greater - than - expected increase in blood pressure and heart rate in response to breathing 4 % carbon dioxide or a 60 ° head - up tilt.36 These changes in autonomic function, arousal, and cardiovascular reflexes might all increase an infant's vulnerability to SIDS.
Lindstrom and his colleagues inserted genes

nicotinic receptors into frog eggs and incubated them with levels of nicotine similar to those found in the blood of a human smoker.
A polymorphism (rs1051730) in proximity to the cholinergic receptor,
nicotinic, alpha 3 (CHRNA3) gene is associated with higher tobacco consumption among smokers and can therefore be used as a genetic proxy
for high tobacco consumption.

Although this study was looking at the role of
nicotinic receptors in disordered mood and the self - medication of mood by smoking, we may be able to extrapolate this
for our purposes because it was this one subset of smokers who were more depressed after tryptophan depletion.
