Functional MRI can differentiate between people who experience substantial dread of adverse experiences and those who don't, according to a study released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Findings could provide new insights into the neurobiology of addictive behavior.
Emory University researchers used fMRI to map the brain activity of 32 healthy subjects anticipating unpleasant stimuli.
