From his studies in substance dependence, post-traumatic stress disorder and neuroimaging, he has published over 450 papers, books and reviews. His neuroimaging research includes detecting and treating cocaine-induced cerebral perfusion defects and using functional MRI to predict pharmacotherapy outcome. He has been involved in clinical trials of such products as a potential vaccine to treat cocaine addiction, immunotherapy for hallucinogens, buprenorphine for opioid dependence, disulfiram for cocaine dependence, vasodilators for cocaine-induced cerebral perfusion defects, and combining medications with contingency management for opioid and cocaine dependence.
