Addictions Can Be Hardwired in the Brain - ABC News

Addictions Can Be Hardwired in the Brain - ABC News:
"Advances in neuroimaging have enabled researchers to peer inside the brains of addicts and patients with addictive behaviors. They can see, in real-time, what gets patients hooked: how the brain's reward system -- based largely on the neurotransmitter dopamine -- thirsts for more, while inhibitory control centers experience a system failure"


I would imagine similar findings for those with trading addictions.
