BRAIN SCANS, GENES PROVIDE ADDICTION CLUES
Scientists using advanced brain imaging and genetic testing to
probe the physiological basis of addiction are gleaning new
insights into these disorders and how to treat them.
A symposium sponsored by Brookhaven National Laboratory (Upton,
NY), held in conjunction with the American Association for the
Advancement of Science's annual meeting in San Francisco in
February, highlighted several advances in addiction science made
over the past year. Researchers presented findings from brain
imaging studies revealing the importance of memory and
drug-related cues in addiction, the role of monoamine
oxidase-inhibiting compounds in cigarette smoking
