Changes in Inhibition-Related Brain Function and Psychological Flexibility during Smoking Abstinence: A Machine-Learning Prediction of Time to Relapse
These results show that changes during abstinence - increased smoking-specific psychological flexibility and increased inhibitory control brain function - are important in predicting time to relapse from smoking cessation. In the future, monitoring and augmenting changes in these variables could help improve the chances of successful nicotine smoking abstinence.
