Correlation between Traits of Emotion-Based Impulsivity and Intrinsic Default-Mode Network Activity.

TL;DR: Trait urgency measures showed significant correlations with the functional connectivity of the posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus seed with the thalamus and midbrain region, suggesting an association between intrinsic brain activity and impulsive behaviors in healthy humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The orbitofrontal cortex in methamphetamine addiction: involvement in fear

TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in inhibitory control can be manifested in stable personality predispositions and further implicate this region in the core characteristics of drug addiction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic imaging of the uptake kinetics of human brain ethanol.

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to evaluate the uptake kinetics and visibility of brain ethanol in comparison to venous blood levels using a pulse sequence that minimizes uncertainties due to differences in J‐modulation, T1, and T2 between ethanol and the concentration standard.
Journal ArticleDOI
