The Neural Consequences of Repeated Cocaine Exposure Revealed by Functional MRI in Awake Rats
- Biology, PsychologyNeuropsychopharmacology
- 2005
The lower metabolic activation in response to cocaine could reflect a reduced neuronal and/or synaptic activity upon repeated administration, which is an invaluable tool for investigating the neuroadaptations that lead to this psychiatric disorder.

Cocaine Activation Discriminates Dopaminergic Projections by Temporal Response: An fMRI Study in Rat

The utility of fMRI to identify spatiotemporal patterns of cocaine-induced brain activation and implicate D1 dopaminergic mechanisms in acute cocaine action are demonstrated.
Limbic activation during cue-induced cocaine craving.

Findings indicate that limbic activation is one component of cue-induced cocaine craving and may be similarly involved in appetitive craving for other drugs and for natural rewards.
Methamphetamine Activates Reward Circuitry in Drug Naïve Human Subjects
- Biology, PsychologyNeuropsychopharmacology
- 2004
Findings indicate that the first administration of a psychostimulant to human subjects activates classical reward circuitry, and support recent hypotheses suggesting a central role for the orbitofrontal cortex in drug reinforcement and the development of addiction.
The addicted human brain: insights from imaging studies.
- Psychology, BiologyThe Journal of clinical investigation
- 2003
In this model, during exposure to the drug or drug-related cues, the memory of the expected reward results in overactivation of the reward and motivation circuits while decreasing the activity in the cognitive control circuit, contributing to an inability to inhibit the drive to seek and consume the drug and results in compulsive drug intake.
Neural activity associated with stress-induced cocaine craving: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study
- Psychology, BiologyPsychopharmacology
- 2005
Patients failed to activate AC and related circuits during stress, regions associated with control, and regulation of emotion and distress states, but exhibited greater craving-related activation in the dorsal striatum, a region related to reward pathways and part of the obsessive–compulsive circuitry.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measures of the Effects of Morphine on Central Nervous System Circuitry in Opioid-Naive Healthy Volunteers
- Biology, PsychologyAnesthesia and analgesia
- 2006
The segregation of fMRI response that was observed in cortical versus subcortical regions suggests a dissociation of reward from sensory-motor and cognitive functions, and the pattern of activation in reward circuitry was similar to that reported for euphoric drugs of abuse.

The present results represent an important expansion of the neural circuitry on which cocaine acts in the monkey as compared with the rat, and this in turn implies that cocaine affects a broader spectra of behaviors in primates than in rodents.
Decreased striatal dopaminergic responsiveness in detoxified cocaine-dependent subjects

The findings challenge the notion that addiction involves an enhanced striatal dopamine response to cocaine and/or an enhanced induction of euphoria and suggest a participation of thalamic dopamine pathways in cocaine addiction.

The present findings indicate that specific limbic regions exhibit increased neuronal activation during the presentation of cocaine-paired cues and may be involved in the formation of associations between cocaine's stimulant actions and the environment in which the drug administration occurred.

Correlations of metabolic increases in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medial temporal lobe, and cerebellum with self-reports of craving suggest that a distributed neural network, which integrates emotional and cognitive aspects of memory, links environmental cues with cocaine craving.
