Aided by powerful new diagnostic tools, scientists are making
dramatic discoveries about how addiction affects the brain. In this program, Moyers goes
into the laboratory to follow researchers engaged in charting an "image of
desire" in the brain. We actually see images of a cocaine user’s brain as the
drug takes effect, and a doctor explains how these scans reveal addiction as a chronic
relapsing brain disease. Moyers observes a genetic researcher as he monitors a variety of
factors that may determine who is likely to develop alcoholism. (57 minutes, color)
