TLDR
Neural evidence is provided for this three-systems neural model of addiction that describes an imbalance between three separate neural systems that promotes automatic, habitual and salient behaviors and accounts for poor decision-making leading to more elevated addiction risk and relapse.

Executive function: Reflection, iterative reprocessing, complexity, and the developing brain

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe executive function and its development from the perspective of the Iterative Reprocessing (IR) model, where reflection, or the reflective reprocessing of information prior to responding, provides a foundation for the control of attention.

Revisiting the role of the insula in addiction

TL;DR: The possible roles of the insula in addiction are examined, open questions are identified, and ways to address them are explored.

Iowa Gambling Task (IGT): twenty years after - gambling disorder and IGT.

TL;DR: This contribution reviews studies that investigated processes associated with poor IGT performance in pathological gamblers and proposes a framework for future research, which highlights the need for studies examining how these processes contribute specifically to the aberrant choice profile displayed by PG on the IGT.

Banishing the Control Homunculi in Studies of Action Control and Behavior Change

TL;DR: It is proposed that at the most basic level, action control depends on three cognitive processes: signal detection, action selection, and action execution, which are modulated via error-correction or outcome-evaluation mechanisms, preparation, and task rules maintained in working and long-term memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive impairments in alcohol-dependent subjects.

TL;DR: It appears essential to clearly define neuropsychological management designed to identify and evaluate the type and severity of alcohol-related cognitive impairments to develop cognitive remediation therapy so that the patient can fully benefit from the management proposed in addiction medicine units.

Prospect theory: an analysis of decision under risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critique of expected utility theory as a descriptive model of decision making under risk, and develop an alternative model, called prospect theory, in which value is assigned to gains and losses rather than to final assets and in which probabilities are replaced by decision weights.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

The neural basis of drug craving: An incentive-sensitization theory of addiction

TL;DR: S sensitization of incentive salience can produce addictive behavior even if the expectation of drug pleasure or the aversive properties of withdrawal are diminished and even in the face of strong disincentives, including the loss of reputation, job, home and family.
