New Project: Regulation of Craving: Stress-challenge and re-exposure effects

Stress and craving are important predictors for relapse in patients with substance use disorders. The current project seeks to examine how stress and executive functions interact to influence the ability to regulate craving and compares different strategies to modulate craving with respect to their mid to long-term effects in smokers. A range of neurobiological methods are employed, including fMRI, EEG, and saliva samples.

The project “Regulation of Craving: Stress-challenge and re-exposure effects” is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
