Now, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have confirmed these findings in rodents and determined that ibogaine interacts with the brain's reward circuits. Ibogaine, which has hallucinogenic and neurotoxic side effects, has not been approved by the Food & Drug Administration....
The brain is an incredibly complicated organ, it’s also the most important organ in your body. Your brain processes all the signals sent to it, including
Steffensen's research suggests that the process of a brain becoming addicted is similar to a driver overcorrecting a vehicle. When drugs and alcohol release unnaturally high levels of dopamine in the brain's pleasure system, oxidative stress occurs in the brain. Steffensen and his collaborators hav...
Similarly, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is used to modulate neuronal resting membrane potential in humans and alter cortical excitability. The current review describes how these brain stimulation techniques have recently been used for the study and treatment of addiction in animal models...
Localized stimulation of the human brain to treat neuropsychiatric disorders has been in place for over 20 years. Although these methods have been used to a greater extent for mood and movement disorders, recent work has explored brain stimulation method

men may experience erectile dysfunction in their teens, twenties, and beyond. Studies have shown that this is caused by a combination of lowered pleasure chemicals in the brain as well as the users propensity to consume porn alone, in front of a screen, which makes it difficult to be aroused...

Previous studies have demonstrated altered gray-matter volume (GMV) in individuals with Internet gaming disorder (IGD), but the relationship between the tendency to IGD and the GMV across whole brain is still unclear in adolescents. In the present study, anatomical imaging with high resolution was...
