TL;DR: Lesions disrupting smoking addiction occurred in many different brain locations but were characterized by a specific pattern of brain connectivity as discussed by the authors , which involved positive connectivity to the dorsal cingulate, lateral prefrontal cortex, and insula and negative connectivity to medial prefrontal and temporal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The vasoactive properties of MP should be considered when prescribing this drug chronically and/or when giving it to subjects with cerebrovascular compromise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic status is associated with striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptors in healthy volunteers but not in cocaine abusers
Corinde E. Wiers,Ehsan Shokri-Kojori,Elizabeth A Cabrera,Samantha I. Cunningham,Christopher Wong,Dardo Tomasi,Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow +7 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that SES is associated with striatal D2/D3R availability in healthy human volunteers, however, reductions in D2-D3r availability in cocaine abusers may be driven by factors other than SES such as chronic cocaine exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term optical imaging of neurovascular coupling in mouse cortex using GCaMP6f and intrinsic hemodynamic signals.
TL;DR: By combining the use of a genetically‐encoded calcium indicator with optical techniques, a longitudinal multimodal optical imaging platform (MIP) is developed that enabled time‐lapse tracking of NVC over a relatively large field of view in the mouse somatosensory cortex at single cell and single vessel resolutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methadone-Involved Overdose Deaths in the US Before and After Federal Policy Changes Expanding Take-Home Methadone Doses From Opioid Treatment Programs.

TL;DR: To facilitate access to methadone treatment from opioid treatment programs (OTPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration allowed states to request blanket exceptions to provide up to 28 and 14 days of take-home methadones for stable and less stable patients, respectively.
