Abnormal salience attribution is implicated in heroin addiction. Previously, combining functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a drug cue‐reactivity task, we demonstrated abnormal patterns of subjective response and brain reactivity in heroin‐dependent individuals. However, whether the chan...
