摘要
On behalf of all authors who contributed to our recent article describing the results from a prospective longitudinal study demonstrating amphetaminetype stimulant-(ATS-)induced reductions in putamen volume and associated cognitive decline in moderate users of these drugs(Kendrick et al.,2021),I thank Professor Trevor Robbins for the flanking commentary.The commentary in the current issue of Psychoradiology(Robbins,2021)sets our findings into the context of recent developments in the field of addiction research and I would like to take the opportunity to further elaborate on progress as well as challenges in neuroimaging of addiction.
