• Dopamine in drug abuse and addiction: results from imaging studies and treatment implications (2004, background): “Based on these findings we recently suggested a multiprong approach that includes pharmacological and behavioral interventions for the treatment of drug addiction”
• Dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex in addiction: neuroimaging findings and clinical implications (2011, background): “As a result of these core deficits, drug seeking and taking become a main motivational drive, occurring at the expense of other activitie”
• Addiction and the brain antireward system. (2008, background): “Alcoholism follows a similar pattern, but the intoxication is less intense and the pattern of drug taking often is characterized by binges of alcohol intake that can be daily episodes or prolonged days of heavy drinking.”
• Widespread reward-system activation in obese women in response to pictures of high-calorie foods (2008, neutral): “…areas, such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens/ventral striatum (NAc), amygdala (AMYG), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and ventral pallidum (Jentsch and Taylor, 1999; Kalivas and Volkow, 2005; Kolb, 1999; Robinson and Berridge, 2003; Simansky, 2005; Volkow et al., 2003, 2004).”
• Imaging dopamine's role in drug abuse and addiction. (2009, neutral): “The saliency of an event is driven either by its unexpectedness, its novelty, its conditioned expectations or its reinforcing effects (positive as well as negative) (Volkow et al., 2003, 2006b).”
• How can drug addiction help us understand obesity? (2005, background): “However, addictive drugs, like addictive foods, activate brain circuitry involved in reward, motivation and decision-makin”
• The addicted human brain viewed in the light of imaging studies: brain circuits and treatment strategies. (2004, background): “PET can be used In the living human brain to measure radiotracers labeled with short-lived positron-emitting isotopes that selectively bind to specific receptors, transporters, and enzymes involved in synthesis and metabolism of neurotransmitters (Volkow et al., 1996, 1999b, 2002a, 2003a).”
• Managing Addiction as a Chronic Condition (2007, background): “…substance use is associated with physical changes in the brain that have an impact on brain functioning and emotional states (Chang et al., 2005, 2006; Kufahl et al., 2005; Paulus, Tapert, and Schuckit, 2005; Risinger et al., 2005; Schlaepfer et al., 2006; Volkow, Fowler, and Wang, 2003, 2004).”
• Addiction: Beyond dopamine reward circuitry (2011, background): “Drug seeking and drug taking become their main motivational drives, which displace other activities (35).”
