Abstract
The orbitofrontal cortex plays an important role in emotion perception. Previous studies have shown impaired emotion perception in individuals with SUD. This may explain the high prevalence of dyadic conflict among couples with SUD. We explored functional abnormalities within OFC circuitry in response to dyadic conflict in substance using couples.
