Neuroimaging of the clinical picture of substance use disorders (introduction to the problem)

The analysis of the literature on the neuroimaging of the cerebral brain of patients with drug dependence suggests that virtually all patients have a deficit of neural connections, in the brain responsible for remuneration and impulsivity. This review focuses on studies using positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate behavioral disorders in patients with drug dependence.
