That switch may apply to a variety of cravings, such as binge eating or even using heroin or cocaine, say researchers. Why? Because baclofen appears to intercept them at their roots: addiction is driven by the same brain system that motivates people to seek natural pleasures like food and sex. These rewarding experiences trigger the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine - the brain's "do it again" signal. Over time, addicts' brains become narrowly focused on drug-related pleasures and hypersensitive to cues associated with them, such as seeing an old drinking pal.

The trials are set to begin in October.

...Abby is the producer of a Sacramento TV news show whose ratings skyrocket when the on-air team is joined by Mike (Gerard Butler), the host of a late-night cable program called The Ugly Truth. Mike is a macho man with a Cro-Magnon spin on sex, telling his female listeners, "We fall in love with your tits and your ass. And we stick around for what you're gonna do with them." Desperate to get a man - any man but Mike - she takes his advice on landing the hunky surgeon (Eric Winter) who's moved in across...
