Neural mechanisms linked to treatment outcomes and recovery in substance-related and addictive disorders
Dialogues Clin Neurosci. 2023 Dec;25(1):75-91. doi: 10.1080/19585969.2023.2242359.ABSTRACTThe present review focuses on potential neural mechanisms underlying recovery from psychiatric conditions characterised by impaired impulse control, specifically substance use disorders, gambling disorder, and internet gaming disorder. Existing treatments (both pharmacological and psychological) for these addictions may impact brain processes, and these have been evaluated in neuroimaging studies. Medication challenge and short-term intervention administration will be considered with respect to treatment utility. Main models of addict...
