Craving for Alcohol and μ opiate Receptors

Description
The drawings of the results of PET scans show the presence of μ opiate receptors in the dorsal striatum of detoxified alcoholic patients and healthy control subjects. The graph shows the relative alcohol craving score as a function of relative numbers of μ opiate receptors. (Based on data from Heinz et al., 2005.)
