Addiction: failure of control over maladaptive incentive habits.

Reads0
Chats0
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.

Traiter les troubles psychiatriques à l'aide de la stimulation transcrânienne par courant continu : approches comportementale et neurobiologique chez la souris

TL;DR: La stimulation transcrânienne par courant continu (tDCS) est une technique de neuromodulation non invasive qui permet de modifier l'excitabilite co11icale au moyen d'un faible courant electrique delivre a travers le crâne.

Checking responses of goal- and sign-trackers are differentially affected by threat in a rodent analog of obsessive–compulsive disorder

TL;DR: A double dissociation in the effects of anxiogenic cues and sensitivity to rewarding stimuli on the propensity to develop functional and dysfunctional checking behavior in a rodent analog of OCD, the observing response task (ORT).

Dopaminergic and noradrenergic modulation of stress-induced alterations in brain activation associated with goal-directed behaviour:

TL;DR: This paper found that acute stress is thought to reduce goal-directed behavior, an effect purportedly associated with stress-induced release of catecholamines, and experimentally increased systemic systemic...

Altered mrna levels of stress-related peptides in mouse hippocampus and caudate-putamen in withdrawal after long-term intermittent exposure to tobacco smoke or electronic cigarette vapour

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the alterations in key neurotransmissions after 60 days of withdrawal from seven weeks of intermittent cigarette smoke, e-cigarette vapours, or an E-cigarette vehicle, specifically after cigarette withdrawal in the caudate-putamen nucleus (CPu).

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.
