J Altern Complement Med 16:1145-52. 2010..The practice of yoga postures is associated with increased brain GABA levels.

Psychopharmacology (Berl) 182:516-26. 2005..There is evidence that prefrontal lobe GABA levels are low in cocaine-dependent (CD) individuals, and treatment with GABA agonists decreases cocaine self-administration... - Videotaped cue for urge to drink alcoholChris C Streeter
Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System, Psychiatry Service, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 26:627-34. 2002..The following hypotheses were tested: (1) individualized cue videotapes can reliably elicit the urge to drink alcohol in alcohol-dependent participants and (2) alcohol drinking histories can predict reactivity to cue... - Open label trial of the tolerability and efficacy of zonisamide in the treatment of alcohol dependenceClifford M Knapp
Division of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
