Bridging Brain and Behavior in Recovery
Manage episode 504678273 series 3658483
A recent study has revealed important insights into addiction and recovery by examining the brain's grey matter volume (GMV) in areas linked to substance use disorders, such as the insula and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Researchers found that reduced GMV in these regions correlates with the severity of substance-related problems, suggesting that individuals with more severe challenges exhibit distinct brain structures. Additionally, the study highlights the role of 'negative urgency' in influencing how brain structure impacts substance use behavior, emphasizing the need for treatment approaches that consider both psychological and biological factors in addiction.
