Addiction & Recovery

Neuroscience of Cannabis Cravings


Listen Later

A recent study has revealed that exposure to cannabis-related cues activates specific brain areas linked to craving and relapse in individuals with cannabis use issues. Utilizing fMRI, researchers found increased connectivity between the ventral tegmental area and the striatum after subjects encountered these cues, correlating with heightened self-reported cravings. This research emphasizes the need for recovery strategies to address the underlying neural changes associated with addiction.
