“…Craving reductions were also associated with a decreased activation of regions in PFC, specifically IFG and SFG (Moon and Lee 2009). In a recent preliminary study by Son et al (2015), AUD subjects received 5 weeks of VR therapy, undergoing FDG-PET before and after treatment. At baseline prior to starting VR treatment, AUD subjects exhibited elevated metabolism in basal ganglia compared to controls.…”

“…Cue-induced amygdala reactivity reduced after 3 weeks of CBM training compared to the placebo training group (p < 0.05 family-wise error corrected). Decreases in amygdala cue reactivity covaried with decreases in craving in the CBM group, but not in the placebo group This study was preliminary, however, since a small number of subjects was used (N = 12 AUD patients) and the control group did not undergo treatment, only a baseline scan (Son et al 2015). Future expansion of this VR therapy into a larger number of subjects as well as inclusion of a healthy control group in the VR treatment would provide further evidence into its potential for AUD treatment.…”

“…According to estimates by the world health organization, in the year 2020, approximately 1.53 million people will die from suicide and at least 10 times more people will attempt suicide worldwide. This is on average 1 death every 20 seconds and 1suicidal attempt every 1 -2 seconds (9,10). In Iran, suicide attempts have become increasingly important.…”
