TLDR
Clinical and preclinical evidence for the efficacy of exercise at different phases of the addiction process and potential neurobiological mechanisms are discussed focusing on interactions with dopaminergic and glutamatergic signaling and chromatin remodeling in the reward pathway.

Dopamine: Functions, Signaling, and Association with Neurological Diseases

TL;DR: The aspects of dopamine as a catecholaminergic neurotransmitter and dopamine signaling pathways elicited through dopamine receptor activation in normal brain function are summarized and the potential involvement of these signaling pathways in evoking the onset and progression of some diseases in the nervous system are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Health Benefits of Exercise

TL;DR: It is now clear that physical training is complex biology, invoking polygenic interactions within cells, tissues/organs, systems, with remarkable cross talk occurring among the former list.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Physical Exercise on Substance Use Disorders: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: The moderate and high-intensity aerobic exercises, designed according to the Guidelines of American College of Sports Medicine, and the mind-body exercises can be an effective and persistent treatment for those with SUD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise-based treatments for substance use disorders: evidence, theory, and practicality

TL;DR: The limited research conducted suggests that exercise may be an effective adjunctive treatment for SUDs, including psychological, behavioral, neurobiological, nearly universal safety profile, and overall positive health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise and alcohol consumption: what we know, what we need to know, and why it is important

TL;DR: A better understanding of the relationship between physical activity and alcohol intake will maximize intervention efforts by informing the design of clinical trials and research-driven prevention strategies, as well as enable individuals to make educated decisions about their health behaviors.

Actual causes of death in the United States, 2000.

TL;DR: These analyses show that smoking remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States, however, poor diet and physical inactivity may soon overtake tobacco as the lead cause of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drugs abused by humans preferentially increase synaptic dopamine concentrations in the mesolimbic system of freely moving rats.

TL;DR: The effect of various drugs on the extracellular concentration of dopamine in two terminal dopaminergic areas, the nucleus accumbens septi (a limbic area) and the dorsal caudate nucleus (a subcortical motor area), was studied in freely moving rats by using brain dialysis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleus accumbens D2/3 receptors predict trait impulsivity and cocaine reinforcement.

TL;DR: It is reported that a form of impulsivity in rats predicts high rates of intravenous cocaine self-administration and is associated with changes in dopamine function before drug exposure, and that D2 receptor dysfunction in abstinent cocaine addicts may, in part, be determined by premorbid influences.
