Research progress in cue-reactivity of addictive substance and its neural mechanism

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2021.03.016

Abstract

Abstract:

Cue-reactivity of addictive substance is a kind of evoked physiological, behavioural and neural responses when an individual is exposed to cues previously associated with addictive substance taking. Cue-reactivity is one of the main features of addiction. It can evoke craving and plays an important role in relapse. However, the neuromechanism is still unknown. The review summarizes recent research progress in the neuromechanism of cue-reactivity and the condition of clinical therapies based on cue-reactivity, which helps deeply understand the development of addiction and set effective clinical intervention strategy.

Key words: substance addiction, cue-reactivity (CR), conditioned reflex, electrophysiology, cerebral nerve circuit
