Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is a serious type of hepatitis that makes liver problems worse for people who already have Hepatitis B.
- Many people don't know about HDV, including doctors and those at risk, which makes it hard to diagnose and treat.
- A special meeting brought together experts and people affected by HDV to discuss ways to raise awareness, improve testing, and ensure better care for patients.
Objective: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking cues in nicotine-deprived smokers.
Method: Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to detect brain activation after exposure to smoking-related images in a group of nicotine-deprived smokers and a nonsmoking comparison group. Subjects viewed a pseudo-random sequence of smoking images, neutral nonsmoking images, and rare targets (photographs of animals).
