Decline in cue-provoked craving during cue exposure therapy for smoking cessation. [PDF]
Based on the principles of Pavlovian learning and extinction, cue exposure therapy (CET) involves repeated exposure to substance-associated cues to extinguish conditioned cravings and reduce the likelihood of relapse. The efficacy of CET is predicated on successful extinction, yet the process of extinction in CET trials has rarely been demonstrated ...

A placebo-controlled randomized trial of D-cycloserine augmentation of cue exposure therapy for smoking cessation. [PDF]
Recent studies underscore the importance of studying d-cycloserine (DCS) augmentation under conditions of adequate cue exposure treatment (CET) and protection from reconditioning experiences. In this randomized trial, we evaluated the efficacy of DCS for

D-cycloserine combined with cue exposure therapy fails to attenuate subjective and physiological craving in cocaine dependence. [PDF]
BackgroundBased on preclinical studies showing that the partial N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) agonist D‐cycloserine (DCS) facilitates extinction of cocaine self‐administration and cocaine‐induced conditioned place preference, we evaluated whether 50 mg of DCS would reduce craving to cocaine cues when combined with cue exposure (CE) in cocaine dependent ...

Impact of DCS-facilitated cue exposure therapy on brain activation to cocaine cues in cocaine dependence. [PDF]
The development of addiction is marked by a pathological associative learning process that imbues incentive salience to stimuli associated with drug use. Recent efforts to treat addiction have targeted this learning process using cue exposure therapy augmented with d-cycloserine (DCS), a glutamatergic agent hypothesized to enhance extinction learning ...
