Application of Functional Neuroimaging to Examination of Nicotine Dependence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Brain Imaging in Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Neuroscience

Abstract

Functional neuroimaging approaches have advanced the field of nicotine and tobacco research by making it possible to study neurobiological mechanisms associated with behaviors predictive of nicotine dependence severity and smoking cessation. This chapter provides a review of the state of the science intended to provide an introductory guide to investigators interested in the design and conduct of future studies.
