Right inferior frontal cortex activity correlates with tolcapone responsivity in problem and pathological gamblers

Right inferior frontal cortex activity correlates with tolcapone responsivity in problem and pathological gamblers

Failures of self-regulation in problem and pathological gambling (PPG) are thought to emerge from failures of top-down control, reflected neurophysiologically in a reduced capacity of prefrontal cortex to influence activity within subcortical structures. In patients with addictions, these impairment...
