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.

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.

Different functional domains measured by cocaine self-administration under the progressive-ratio and punishment schedules in male Wistar rats

TL;DR: The intensity-response effects of punishment can be used to measure the function or sensitivity of the inhibitory system independent of the motivational state.

Impulsivity moderates the relationship between previous quit failure and cue-induced craving.

TL;DR: It is indicated that shorter duration of previous failed quit attempts was related to higher cue-induced cigarette craving, especially among smokers with higher levels of impulsivity, underscore the importance of considering trait impulsivity as a factor in better understanding the management of cue- induced cravings.

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.
