Wow really??? Influences on decision making may alter how the brain makes decisions????!!!1!1!1?1? This is so interesting and unheard of.
People who've never experienced addiction often have a hard time understanding how you can continue to make choices you know are bad for you and those around you.
They don't realize that the cravings basically override executive functioning, which is why research showing this is a good thing.
Yeah I know what the study actually meant - it changes the decision making process (physiologically)
Further studies necessary.
