Description
Arezoo Taebi and co-authors test, in a 2024 trial, brain training by live feedback for people who use nicotine. The method shows patients their own brain activity so they can learn to steer it. Choosing the right target network has been a standing question for the field.
An earlier pooled analysis pointed to a network linking the insula and the dorsal striatum with the cingulate cortex. Sixty nicotine users were split between real feedback and a sham version, with neither side knowing which. The trial checked whether users could regulate the network and whether that changed anything clinical. A double-blind design gives the verdict unusual weight in a field full of small open studies.
