The addicted human brain viewed in the light of imaging studies: brain circuits and treatment strategies. (2004, background): “In other cases, vulnerability to a psychiatric disorder may be increased by brain changes acquired as a result of drug abuse (Volkow et al., 2004).”
The neural basis of addiction: a pathology of motivation and choice. (2005, background): “Indeed, just as hyperactivity of the anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex contributes to compulsive behaviors in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders, the relative hypermetabolism in response to drug-related stimuli could trigger compulsive drug intake (65).”
