Abstract

Chapter 8 discusses neurocircuitry of attentional processes in addictive behaviours. It reviews implicit measures of nicotine addiction and smoking behaviour (cognitive measures, and measures of attentional bias, and evidence from neuroimaging studies, including fMRI, PET and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)), and reviews the utility of these implicit measures in studies which are informative with respect to the neurobiological mechanisms underlying nicotine addiction and cigarette smoking.
