Abstract
An understanding of the neurobiological substrates of brain dysfunction associated with substance abuse is essential for the development of effective treatments for this disorder. Noninvasive brain imaging provides a powerful approach to obtain the relevant information for it permits thein vivoassessment of brain function under different conditions that characterize various stages of an addictive cycle.
