Differences in δ- and μ-Opioid Receptor Blockade Measured by Positron Emission Tomography in Naltrexone-Treated Recently Abstinent Alcohol-Dependent Subjects
Blockade of brain μ-opioid receptor (μ-OR) and δ-opioid receptor (δ-OR) was investigated in recently abstinent alcohol-dependent subjects (N=21) maintained on naltrexone. Subjects completed a 19-day inpatient pro...

Relationships Among Ventral Striatal Dopamine Release, Cortisol Secretion, and Subjective Responses to Amphetamine
There is evidence that stress and glucocorticoids alter drug self-administration and mesolimbic dopamine (DA) activity in preclinical models. The primary purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that g...
