Pharmacol Biochem Behav 82:90-7. 2005..We predict that these differences may impact drug use and relapse patterns, and may have implications in medications development for these addictive disorders...
Learning and memory deficits in ecstasy users and their neural correlates during a face-learning taskGloria M P Roberts
School of Psychology and Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Brain Res 1292:71-81. 2009..These ecstasy-specific effects may be related to the vulnerability of isocortical and allocortical regions to the neurotoxic effects of ecstasy...
Differences in "bottom-up" and "top-down" neural activity in current and former cigarette smokers: Evidence for neural substrates which may promote nicotine abstinence through increased cognitive controlLiam Nestor
School of Psychology and Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Neuroimage 56:2258-75. 2011..These findings may suggest that elevated topdown control might be an important characteristic of successful abstinence in individuals formerly dependent on nicotine...
