Effects of low doses of caffeine on cognitive performance, mood and thirst in low and higher caffeine consumers.

abstract：RATIONALE:Brain reward pathways implicated in addiction appear to be less reactive in regular drug users; behavioural manifestations may include decreased sensitivity to natural reinforcers. OBJECTIVES:This study aimed to replicate earlier findings of abstinence-associated incentive motivation deficits in smokers and ...
