  1. Modulation of Alcohol Use Disorder by Brain Stimulation

    Ygael N and Zangen A

    Current Topics in Behavioral Neuroscience  ·  2025

    Currently available therapeutic modalities for alcohol use disorder (AUD) produce limited effect sizes, particularly when long-term relapse prevention is considered. Following recognition of AUD as a brain disease and advances in understanding of related pathological neural circuitries, methods that were developed to modulate brain…

  2. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting the insular cortex for reduction of heavy drinking in treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent subjects: a randomized controlled trial

    I Perini, R Kämpe, T Arlestig, H Karlsson, A Löfberg, M Pietrzak, A Zangen, M Heilig

    Neuropsychopharmacology

    Insula responses to drug cues are correlated with cravings, and lesions in this area reduce nicotine seeking. Objective: This study investigated the potential efficacy of rTMS targeting the insula in alcohol addiction. Methods: Treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent patients (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental…

  3. Trialing addiction neurocircuitry targets and directionality of brain stimulation effects: A deep TMS/fMRI trial in people with alcohol use disorder

    Fehring DJ, Morrison-Ham J, Cobden AL, Mahlberg J, Gao M, Kelly CE, Sangchooli A, Stoliker D, et al.

    Contemp Clin Trials Commun

    Excessive alcohol consumption is a global health concern, with an estimated 400 million people living with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Current treatments for AUD have limited efficacy and fail to address its diverse neurobiological underpinnings. There are at least two cortico-striatal circuits…
