The paper investigates plasma endocannabinoids in cocaine dependence and their relationship with mGluR5 density in the brain, finding higher 2-AG levels in dependent users and a positive association with mGluR5 density.

This study finds that chronic cocaine users show altered sensitivity to gain information during risky decision-making, leading to increased risk-seeking in unfavorable scenarios.

This study shows that cocaine users can self-regulate their reward system using non-drug imagery and that real-time fMRI neurofeedback enhances this ability.
