Using neuroeconomic approaches, our findings demonstrate that the underlying duality of the β-δ discounting networks that jointly influence valuation is impaired to a pathogenic state in abstinent heroin dependents. The imbalanced functional link between the β-δ networks for valuation may orchestrate the irrational choice in drug addiction.
