Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cocaine dependence is associated with increased stress and drug cue-induced craving and physiological arousal but decreased prefrontal activity to emotional and cognitive challenge."2.77Guanfacine effects on stress, drug craving and prefrontal activation in cocaine dependent individuals: preliminary findings. ( Fox, HC; Hansen, J; Kimmerling, A; Morgan, PT; Seo, D; Sinha, R; Tuit, K, 2012)
"The pathophysiology of cocaine addiction is linked to changes within neural systems and brain regions that are critical mediators of stress system sensitivity and behavioral processes associated with the regulation of adaptive goal-directed behavior."2.50The role of guanfacine as a therapeutic agent to address stress-related pathophysiology in cocaine-dependent individuals. ( Fox, H; Sinha, R, 2014)
"Guanfacine treated women improved their performance on the Stroop task following exposure to all 3 imagery conditions compared with placebo women (p=0."1.46Sex differences in guanfacine effects on stress-induced stroop performance in cocaine dependence. ( Fox, HC; Hermes, G; Jayaram-Lindstrom, N; Milivojevic, V; Sinha, R, 2017)
