440th Brookhaven Lecture. Reward, Self Control and Free Will in Cocaine Addiction: Brain Imaging Results

Multimedia ·
OSTI ID:987845

Goldstein describes drug-addiction research, in which she tested a theoretical model postulating that drug-addicted individuals disproportionately attribute value to their drug of choice -- at the expense of other potentially but no-longer-rewarding stimuli and at the same time, experience decreased ability to inhibit their drug use.
