Correlation of acute cocaine-induced changes in local cerebral blood flow with subjective effects

The authors administered 48 mg of intravenous cocaine or placebo to eight abstinent cocaine users in a double-blind, crossover design and examined blood flow using single photon emission computed tomography. Cocaine produced significant decreases in frontal cortical and basal ganglia blood flow; these latter correlated negatively with increases in self-ratings of "rush" and "high." The authors conclude that these local effects are compatible with dopaminergic system involvement.
