ʻO ka nui o ka nui o ka straltum ventral a me ka cortex pono mua ma ka pāʻani pāʻani (2014)

Ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā haʻawina neuroimaging hana i kahi komo ʻana o ka cortex prefrontal cortex a me ka mesolimbic reward system (ʻo ia hoʻi, ventral striatum) i ka pāʻani pathological (PG). Eia nō naʻe, aia ka hapa o nā haʻawina e haka pono ana i nā loli pili i ka palena o ka lolo o muaostriatal i nā kumuhana pākeke me PG. Ma ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻokoʻa i ka nui o nā mea hina hina haole, 20 kumuhana kāne me PG a me 21 ka ʻona o nā mana hoʻomalu i hana ʻia. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā ʻikepili o ka lolo o ka lolo ma o ka morphometry e pili ana i ka leo me ka nānā ʻana i nā wahi prefrontal a me ka striatum ventral. Ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā pōpoki hina i nā wahi lolo i pili pono i nā loli lolo i ka PG, ʻike ka ʻike i kēia manawa i ka nui o ka nui ma ka ventral striatum kūpono a me ka prefrontal cortex kūpono ma o ka morphometry voxel-akamai i nā kumuhana PG e like me nā mana. Hōʻike ko mākou mau ʻike i nā loli o ka hina hina kūloko i nā wahi lolo i ka mea i pili mua i nā loli hana i ka PG. ʻO ke hypertrophy i ke cortex prefrontal ma kahi liʻiliʻi i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e ka nui o nā mea hina hina i ka striatum ventral a e kōkua paha i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike cognitive i luna o ka poʻe pāʻani. Pono ka noiʻi ʻana i ka wā e pili ana i ka pilina ma waena o ka hoʻololi a me ka hoʻololi ʻana a me ka papa ʻana o nā loli i ka PG.
