Abstract in brief

  • Chronic drug use and stress make the brain more vulnerable to inflammation, involving immune responses like microglial activation and cytokine release that can damage the blood-brain barrier.
  • Research is focused on understanding how substance abuse and stress influence brain inflammation, neuroplasticity, and cognitive control, which may lead to compulsive behaviors and worsen mood disorders.
  • The review highlights human brain imaging studies that examine the relationship between brain activity and markers of inflammation outside the brain in both substance use and mood disorders.
