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.

Generalized habitual tendencies in alcohol dependent rats

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a history of alcohol dependence produces a bias towards habitual responding that generalizes to a natural reward in rats, and a habitual bias was induced in non-dependent rats after inactivation of the DMS, thus confirming the critical role of this region in maintaining goal-directed behavior and suggesting its diminished control in AUD.

Compare Rates of Depression in People with Non-dependent and Drug-Dependent which are leaving

TL;DR: Depression severity comparison between the two groups was statistically significant and the severity of depression in patients with substance was more and association between demographic variable education level and employment status, with depression was statistically, significant.

Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex activation disrupts Pavlovian incentive motivation

TL;DR: It is found that the dmPFC does not mediate the expression of Pavlovian incentive motivation but instead has the capacity to exert pronounced inhibitory control over this process, suggesting that it is involved in adaptively regulating cue-motivated behavior.

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.
