TL;DR: For example, this article found that relapsers and non-relapsers commonly demonstrated significantly increased brain responses during the processing of heroin cues in the mesolimbic system, prefrontal regions and visuospatial-attention regions.

TL;DR: Comparing the functional connectivity strength among healthy controls and heroin-dependent men who had either relapsed or were in early remission and how the coupling of large-scale networks correlated with relapse behaviour among heroin- dependent men may shed light on the development of new treatments for heroin addiction.

TL;DR: The results suggest that methadone has damaging effects on WM integrity, and the dose-dependent pattern and characteristics of the impairment may suggest new strategies for MMT.

TL;DR: Cognitive deficits caused by heroin‐induced white matter impairments hinder addicts' engagement in and benefit from treatment and the predictive value of WM integrity in heroin addicts during methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for future relapse is unclear.

TL;DR: It is suggested that altered functional connectivity of DMN may contribute to the potential neurobiological mechanism(s) of heroin relapse and have a predictive value concerning heroin relapse under MMT.
