NCORE
In this study (NCORE: Neural Correlates of Reward and Emotion in opioid dependence), we are investigating the effects of opioid dependence on brain function, with the aim of improving treatment for detoxification and relapse prevention.
Our research uses brain-imaging techniques to detect subtle changes in brain function while performing psychological tasks. These tasks measure brain processes that are important in opioid dependence. We will investigate the effects of aprepitant on brain function in opioid-dependent individuals during methadone treatment, and again, after achieving abstinence from methadone.
