Drug Addiction: Updating Actions to Habits to Compulsions Ten Years On
Open accessAbstract
A decade ago, we hypothesized that drug addiction can be viewed as a transition from voluntary, recreational drug use to compulsive drug-seeking habits, neurally underpinned by a transition from prefrontal cortical to striatal control over drug seeking and taking as well as a progression from the ventral to the dorsal striatum. Here, in the light of burgeoning, supportive evidence, we reconsider and elaborate this hypothesis, in particular the refinements in our understanding of ventral and dorsal striatal mechanisms underlying goal-directed and habitual drug seeking, the influence of drug-associated Pavlovian-conditioned stimuli on drug seeking and relapse, and evidence for impairments in top-down prefrontal cortical inhibitory control over this behavior. We further review animal and human studies that have begun to define etiological factors and individual differences in the propensity to become addicted to drugs, leading to the description of addiction endophenotypes, especially for cocaine addiction. We consider the prospect of novel treatments for addiction that promote abstinence from and relapse to drug use.

“In addition to the moderating e ff ects of general inhibitory control on relationships between cue-reactivity/craving and the habitual behaviors, we propose that stimuli-speci fi c inhibitory control may act as a mediator in the later stages of addictive processes (Everitt and Robbins, 2016).”

“Thus, in later stages of addictive behaviors (Fig. 2B), stimuli-speci fi c inhibitory control processes may be in fl uenced by craving and urges related to encountering addiction-related stimuli, which may then make it more likely that an individual will behave habitually or seemingly automatically (Everitt and Robbins, 2005, 2013, 2016).”

“While cue-exposure therapy may not extinguish existing associations, the intensity of experienced craving may be reduced (Pericot-Valverde et al., 2015), which is consistent with current neuroimaging findings on the reduction of cue-reactivity due to cue-exposure therapy in abstinent alcohol-dependent individuals (Vollstädt-Klein et al., 2011), although its effectiveness is discussed controvers”

“The addiction process in general has been proposed to involve transitions from more voluntary and impulsive drug consumption to a more habitual or compulsive pattern of use, and that within this process, the positive and recreational feelings linked to drug intake may become less important compared to experiencing the direct drug effects (Everitt and Robbins, 2016;Piazza and Deroche-Gamonet, 2013”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
