• Neurocircuitry of Addiction (2009, background): “In prefrontal regions (eg, cingulate gyrus and obitofrontal cortex), these changes have been associated with a reduction in striatal dopamine D2 receptor availability observed in addicted subjects (Heinz et al, 2004; Volkow et al, 1993, 2001a, 2007).”
• Differential activation of the dorsal striatum by high-calorie visual food stimuli in obese individuals (2007, background): “…cf. Nieuwenhuys et al., 1991), a part of the habit learning system, which has previously been linked to a lowered DA D2 receptor availability in obese (Wang et al., 2001) and drug-addicted individuals (Volkow et al., 1996, 1997; Volkow and Wise, 2005; Heinz et al., 2004; Martinez et al., 2004).”
• Dysfunction of reward processing correlates with alcohol craving in detoxified alcoholics (2007, background): “…cortex (ACC), amygdala, and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in alcoholics, relative to healthy volunteers (Braus et al., 2001; George et al., 2001; Grusser et al., 2004; Heinz et al., 2004; Hommer, 1999; Myrick et al., 2004; Schneider et al., 2001; Tapert et al., 2004; Wrase et al., 2002).”
• Cognitive Neuroscience Approaches to Individual Differences in Working Memory and Executive Control: Conceptual and Methodological Issues (2010, methodology): “, virtually all major statistical packages can easily compute Cronbach’s a, the most common measure of internal consistency), researchers should be encouraged to report a coefficient of reliability for all individual differences measures used to predict brain activity – a step only a few fMRI studie”
