[Abstract] Addiction is a disease affecting decision-making, the emotional balance, the control of behaviour, not only in cases of psychoactive products use but also in behavioural dependencies, collectively known as substance-related and addictive disorders. Substance-related and addictive disorders impose enormous health and economic burdens on individuals, families, communities, and society. Changes in brain function caused by long-term addiction are key to the development and maintenance of the addiction process. How to objectively assess such changes becomes a hotspot of research. Alcohol use disorder, nicotine use disorder, marijuana use disorder, and other non-substance addictions lead to dysfunction of multiple brain circuits that sustain addiction, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to objectively assess the changes in brain function of patients, which is beneficial for clinicians to choose treatment options and evaluate prognosis. The purpose of this paper is to review relevant research at home and abroad, and to review the progress of fMRI research on substance-related and addictive disorders.
