Note: All parameters are reported in natural log units. Standard errors are given in parentheses. All models controlled for the linear decline in smoking across days, the negative quadratic pattern within days, and baseline nicotine dependence. IFG = inferior frontal gyrus; pre-SMA = pre-supplementary motor area.
