Through sequential waves of drug-induced neurochemical stimulation, addiction co-opts the
brain's neuronal circuits that mediate reward, motivation to behavioral inflexibility and a�…

Although cerebellar alterations have been consistently noted in the addiction literature, the
pathophysiology of this link remains unclear. The cerebellum is commonly classified as a�…
