Journal ArticleDOI

Cocaine cues and dopamine in dorsal striatum: mechanism of craving in cocaine addiction.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that dopamine in the dorsal striatum is involved with craving and is a fundamental component of addiction, and strategies aimed at inhibiting dopamine increases from conditioned responses are likely to be therapeutically beneficial in cocaine addiction.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Nonhedonic" food motivation in humans involves dopamine in the dorsal striatum and methylphenidate amplifies this effect.

TL;DR: The results provide the first evidence that dopamine in the dorsal striatum is involved in food motivation in humans that is distinct from its role in regulating reward through the NA, and the ability of methylphenidate to amplify weak dopamine signals is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Modafinil on Dopamine and Dopamine Transporters in the Male Human Brain: Clinical Implications

TL;DR: In this pilot study, modafinil blocked dopamine transporters and increased dopamine in the human brain (including the nucleus accumbens), highlighting the need for heightened awareness for potential abuse of and dependence on modafInil in vulnerable populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Profound Decreases in Dopamine Release in Striatum in Detoxified Alcoholics: Possible Orbitofrontal Involvement

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that the orbitofrontal cortex modulates the value of rewards by regulating the magnitude of dopamine increases in the ventral striatum and that disruption of this regulation may underlie the decreased sensitivity to rewards in addicted subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure to appetitive food stimuli markedly activates the human brain

TL;DR: The activation of the right orbitofrontal cortex, a brain region involved with drive, may underlie the motivation to procure food, which may be subjectively experienced as "desire for food" and "hunger" when exposed to food stimuli.
