Cocaine addiction may persist because the drug rewires brain circuits through a protein called DeltaFosB. This buildup ...

The roots of addiction risk may lie in how young brains function long before substance use begins, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators found that children with a ...

Does using alcohol, nicotine, or cannabis engender addiction by changing the structure of brains, or does the structure of brains incline some people toward using those substances? In standard brain ...

Addiction is one of the most intensely studied conditions in modern medicine, yet even with high‑resolution brain scans and genetic tools, scientists still cannot fully explain why some people get ...

At 17, he started his long journey through addiction treatment units. Now 22, he has been treated numerous times in the ...

Does using alcohol, nicotine, or cannabis engender addiction by changing the structure of brains, or does the structure of brains incline some people toward using those substances? In standard brain ...

Remarkable scientific progress over the past five decades has helped us develop knowledge of how drugs of abuse induce pleasure, reinforce use, and lead to the compulsive self-administration we call ...

Researchers have used mouse models to study how cocaine addiction alters the brain, illuminating why relapse is common as well as possible treatment options.

Researchers demonstrates a revolutionary AI foundation model capable of predicting human brain activity from multisensory stimuli.

To explore these neural differences, the researchers used a computational approach called “network control theory” to measure how the brain transitions between different patterns of activity during ...
