Iran has 2.1 and 1.8% of its 15-64-year-old population living with illicit substance opioid use disorders, respectively. To address these problems, been developing a large multi-modality addiction treatment system, spanning the time before after Islamic Revolution.Iran's current drug scene is combination services, ranging from medical/harm reduction services to punitive/criminal justice programs. Included in this array are drop-in centers providing low-threshold harm such as distribution...
Abstract Background Cue reactivity is one of the most frequently used paradigms in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies substance use disorders (SUDs). While there have been promising results elucidating neurocognitive mechanisms SUDs and SUD treatments, interpretability reproducibility these limited by incomplete reporting participant characteristics, task design, craving assessment, scanning preparation analysis decisions fMRI drug cue (FDCR) experiments. This hampers...
Addiction medicine is a dynamic field that encompasses clinical practice and research in the context of societal, economic, cultural factors at local, national, regional, global levels. This has evolved profoundly during past decades terms scopes activities with contribution addiction scientists professionals globally. The nature drug level resulted crucial need for developing an international collaborative network societies, treatment programs experts to monitor emerging concerns. protocol...
Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in understanding brain structure and function. Nevertheless, the lack of transparency, reproducibility, reliability findings is significant obstacle for field. To address these challenges, there an ongoing effort to develop reporting checklists neuroimaging studies increase likelihood that fundamental aspects study design execution are reported. In this review, we first define what mean by checklist then discuss how can be developed implemented. We consider...
As a neurobiological process, addiction involves pathological patterns of engagement with substances and range behaviors chronic relapsing course. Neuroimaging technologies assess brain activity, structure, physiology, metabolism at scales ranging from neurotransmitter receptors to large-scale networks, providing unique windows into the core neural processes implicated in substance use disorders. Identified aberrations substrates reward salience processing, response inhibition,...
Abstract Top-down regulation is one of the major neural cores in drug-craving management and relapse prevention. The dynamic temporal behavior top-down between dorso-lateral ventro-medial prefrontal cortices (DLPFC VMPFC) amygdala during drug cue-exposure has not been studied yet. Fifteen abstinent participants with heroin use disorder were scanned using cue-induced craving fMRI task. Using Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM), winning model showed a significant reciprocal connection VMPFC DLPFC...
Abstract Although relatively costly and non-scalable, non-invasive neuromodulation interventions are treatment alternatives for neuropsychiatric disorders. The recent developments of highly-deployable transcranial electric stimulation (tES) systems, combined with mobile-Health technologies, could be incorporated in digital trials to overcome methodological barriers increase equity access. We convened 61 highly-productive specialists contacted 8 tES companies assess 71 issues related...
Abstract Background Low intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), including alternating or direct current (tACS tDCS), applies weak to modulate the activity of brain circuits. Integration tES with concurrent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows for mapping neural during neuromodulation, supporting causal studies both function and effects. Methodological aspects tES-fMRI underpin results, reporting them in appropriate detail is required reproducibility...

Abstract Background Drug-related cue-reactivity, dysfunctional negative emotion processing, and response-disinhibition constitute three core aspects of methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). These phenomena have been studied independently, but the neuroscientific literature on their interaction in addictive disorders remains scant. Methods fMRI data were collected from 62 individuals with MUD when responding to geometric Go or No-Go cues superimposed over blank, neutral, negative-emotional...
