BOLD study of stimulation-induced neural activity and resting-state connectivity in medetomidine-sedated rat.
TL;DR: FMRI response to electrical forepaw stimulation under medetomidine and the synchronization of low frequency fluctuations (LFF) in the BOLD signal in different brain regions likely reflect functional connectivity of these brain regions in anesthetized-animals.

TL;DR: Results suggest heroin craving may involve different neural substrates than do desire from basic physiological drives, such as thirst, and add to the scant but much-needed brain imaging literature on heroin addiction.

Decreased functional connectivity of insula-based network in young adults with internet gaming disorder.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that IGD is associated with altered insula-based network, similar to substance addiction such as smoking, is supported.

Alterations in the processing of non-drug-related affective stimuli in abstinent heroin addicts.
TL;DR: The present study asked abstinent heroin addicts and normal controls to passively view standardized affective pictures of positive, negative, or neutral valence and compared their brain activities with functional MRI to reveal a complex pattern of altered processing of non-drug-related affective materials in addicts.
Abnormal auditory sensory gating-out in first-episode and never-medicated paranoid schizophrenia patients: an fMRI study
TL;DR: Different from previous findings, the schizophrenia patients showed decreased activation in hippocampus and thalamus during sensory gating-out, compared with the normal controls.
