When Not Enough Is Too Much: The Role of Insufficient Glucocorticoid Signaling in the Pathophysiology of Stress-Related Disorders

TL;DR: Neuroendocrine data provide evidence of insufficient glucocorticoid signaling in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression, which are associated with immune system activation/inflammation, high SNS tone, and CRH hypersecretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Neuroscience of Drug Reward and Addiction.

TL;DR: Treatment interventions intended to reverse neuroadaptations that result in an impaired prefrontal top-down self-regulation that favors compulsive drug-taking against the backdrop of negative emotionality and an enhanced interoceptive awareness of "drug hunger" show promise as therapeutic approaches for addiction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neurobiology of depression, ketamine and rapid-acting antidepressants: Is it glutamate inhibition or activation?

TL;DR: The current perspective paper summarizes the understanding of the neurobiology of depression, and the mechanisms of action of ketamine and other RAADs, and summarize the clinical efficacy findings of putative RAads, present relevant human biomarker findings, and discuss current challenges and future directions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Neurobiology and Pharmacotherapy of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

TL;DR: This work summarizes the standard and experimental pharmacotherapeutic options for PTSD, and discusses their putative mechanism of action and clinical efficacy, and proposes a dual pathology model of stress-related synaptic loss arising from amino acid-based pathology and stress- related synaptic gain related to monoamine- based pathology.

A comparison of self-reported symptoms and DSM-III-R criteria for cocaine withdrawal

TL;DR: The frequencies of 15 self-reported symptoms of cocaine withdrawal were compared in 75 subjects to the symptoms listed as criteria by DSM-III and DSM-R for either amphetamine or cocaine withdrawal, finding that these criteria may be too narrowly defined for treatment purposes.

The epidemiology of major depressive disorder: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R).

TL;DR: Notably, major depressive disorder is a common disorder, widely distributed in the population, and usually associated with substantial symptom severity and role impairment, and while the recent increase in treatment is encouraging, inadequate treatment is a serious concern.

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.
