DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2018.04.052
Abstract: ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that factors influencing risk‐taking include whether decisions are made based on emotions (affective systems) or cognitions (deliberative systems), the processing of feedback (e.g., deciding to attend a rehabilitation facility for opioid addiction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2020.04.020
Abstract: OBJECTIVES The relationship between past drug use trajectory and long-term relapse risk after rehabilitation among heroin-dependent patients remain understudied. The primary objectives were to identify longitudinal heroin use patterns of heroin-dependent patients, to determine the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/arclin/acz034.09
Abstract: Heroin dependent individuals appear to have significant deficits in attention which can be assessed using digit span forward (DSF) or the continuous performance test (CPT). The current meta-analysis examined differences between DSF and CPT results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/adb.12387
Abstract: Models of heroin addiction emphasize the role of disrupted frontostriatal circuitry supporting cognitive control processes. However, heroin addiction‐related alterations in functional and structural interactions among brain regions, especially between the cerebral hemispheres, are rarely examined… read more here.
