Neurocognitive studies of reward sensitivity in opiate addiction and its influence on addiction-related behaviour

药物滥用是澳大利亚人身体疾病和死亡的最大单一可预防风险因素。我们对从药物使用到成瘾过渡的神经和认知机制的理解还不完全。目前的建议是研究认知控制功能障碍，最明显的是在药物成瘾中看到的奖励冲动，这是已知的预测从药物使用到成瘾和治疗期间复发的过渡。

Drug abuse is the greatest single preventable risk factor for physical illness and death in Australians . Our understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms that contribute to the transition from drug use to addiction is not yet complete. The current proposal investigates cognitive control dysfunction, most notably the impulsivity for reward seen in drug addiction that is known to predict the transition from drug use to addiction and relapse during treatment.
