Identifying Specific Cues and Contexts Related to Smoking Craving for the Development of Effective Virtual Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Craving is considered the main variable associated with relapse after smoking cessation. Cue Exposure Therapy (CET) consists of controlled and repeated exposure to drug-related cues with the aim of extinguishing craving responses.

Effects of environmental tobacco smoke exposure on brain functioning in never‐smoking adolescents

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2020
Introduction Brain functioning, as indexed by event‐related potentials (ERPs) representing smoking cue reactivity, inhibitory control, and reward processing, has been found to be compromised in smokers.

An fMRI study of nicotine-deprived smokers' reactivity to smoking cues during novel/exciting activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Engaging in novel/exciting ("self-expanding") activities activates the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, a brain reward pathway also associated with the rewarding effects of nicotine. This suggests that self-expanding activities can potentially substitute for

Effects of Saccharin Consumption on Operant Responding for Sugar Reward and Incubation of Sugar Craving in Rats

open access: yesFoods, 2020
Repeated experience with artificial sweeteners increases food consumption and body weight gain in rats. Saccharin consumption may reduce the conditioned satiety response to sweet-tasting food. Rats were trained to press a lever to obtain sucrose for five

An instrument for visual cue associated craving of HEroin (IV-CACHE): A preliminary functional neuroimaging-based study of validity and reliability

open access: yesIndian Journal of Psychiatry, 2021
Background: Craving is the subjective experience of desire for specific drugs. Lack of reliability and untested construct validity are limiting factors for the existing questionnaires to assess craving.

Relapse to smoking during unaided cessation: clinical, cognitive and motivational predictors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Rationale: Neurobiological models of addiction suggest that abnormalities of brain reward circuitry distort salience attribution and inhibitory control processes, which in turn contribute to high relapse rates.

Cue reactivity in nicotine and alcohol addiction: a cross-cultural view

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
A wealth of research indicates that cue reactivity is critical to understanding the neurobiology of nicotine and alcohol addiction and developing treatments.

The CB1R rs2023239 receptor gene variant significantly affects the reinforcing effects of nicotine, but not cue reactivity, in human smokers

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2021
Introduction The cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1R) has been shown in preclinical studies to be involved in nicotine reinforcement and relapse‐like behavior. The common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2023239 may code for an alternative CB1R protein,

Traumatic Experiences and Reduced Alcohol Self-efficacy in Alcohol Dependent Inpatients: Attentional and Autonomic Mediators

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2021
Objective: Self-medication with alcohol has been documented among individuals exposed to chronic trauma who may be unable to resist urges to drink in high-risk situations.

Interaction between dysfunctional connectivity at rest and heroin cues-induced brain responses in male abstinent heroin-dependent individuals. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The majority of previous heroin cue-reactivity functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies focused on local function impairments, such as inhibitory control, decision-making and stress regulation.
