Addiction: failure of control over maladaptive incentive habits.

Reads0

TLDR
It is hypothesized that these incentive habits result from a pathological coupling of drug-influenced motivational states and a rigid stimulus-response habit system by which drug-associated stimuli through automatic processes elicit and maintain drug seeking.

Toward an Integrative Conceptualization of Maladaptive Consumer Behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, consumer research has explored several dimensions of maladaptive decision-making, including compulsive consumption and behavioral addiction, and proposed extending this work by integrati...

Interoceptive Stimulus Effects of Drugs of Abuse

TL;DR: This chapter delves into the point at which approaches appear to be converging, and discusses where the role of interoception in drug addiction is in the understanding today and how this research may inform improved therapeutic techniques.

New directions in modelling dysregulated reward seeking for food and drugs.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying dysregulated reward-seeking for both food and drugs is presented, including stress exposure, intermittent access to rewards, and enhanced cue-driven reward seeking.

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.

Neurocircuitry of Addiction

TL;DR: The delineation of the neurocircuitry of the evolving stages of the addiction syndrome forms a heuristic basis for the search for the molecular, genetic, and neuropharmacological neuroadaptations that are key to vulnerability for developing and maintaining addiction.

Neural systems of reinforcement for drug addiction: from actions to habits to compulsion

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the change from voluntary drug use to more habitual and compulsive drug use represents a transition at the neural level from prefrontal cortical to striatal control over drug seeking and drug taking behavior as well as a progression from ventral to more dorsal domains of the striatum, involving its dopaminergic innervation.

The Neural Basis of Addiction: A Pathology of Motivation and Choice

TL;DR: Cellular adaptations in prefrontal glutamatergic innervation of the accumbens promote the compulsive character of drug seeking in addicts by decreasing the value of natural rewards, diminishing cognitive control (choice), and enhancing glutamatorgic drive in response to drug-associated stimuli.
