Competing Interests

Anatabine was supplied for this research by Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals who sell anatabine as a food supplement. Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals also partially funded this study. The Roskamp Institute is a not-for-profit public charity and none of its staff (who comprise all the authors on this paper) receive remuneration from Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals. There are no other potential conflicts of interest. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
