The [Laboratory of Molecular Neuroimaging (LMN)][1] (renamed to Neuroimaging of Addiction Treatment Laboratory) in the [Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA][2] utilizes multi-modal imaging techniques (PET, sMRI, fMRI) to examine the neural circuitry underlying impulsivity, self-control and other neurocognitive functions and behaviors related to psychiatric disorders. A major focus of the laboratory is substance abuse, and our research aims to help clarify the links between genetic variation, brain chemistry and activity in neural circuits related to decision-making and other cognitive functions that affect addiction. Ongoing studies also involve novel approaches to enhance brain function and self-control during recovery.
