Astrocyte Function in Alcohol Reward and Addiction
Glial cells, particularly astrocytes, play essential roles in the regulation of neurotransmission, metabolism, and supply of energy substrates for synaptic transmission. One astrocyte can receive inputs from several hundreds of synapses, and synchronized neuronal activity correlates with astrocyte calcium signaling. Astrocyte pathology is a common feature of ethanol exposure in both humans and ...
متن کاملTheoretical frameworks and mechanistic aspects of alcohol addiction: alcohol addiction as a reward deficit disorder.
Alcoholism can be defined by a compulsion to seek and take drug, loss of control in limiting intake, and the emergence of a negative emotional state when access to the drug is prevented. Alcoholism impacts multiple motivational mechanisms and can be conceptualized as a disorder that includes a progression from impulsivity (positive reinforcement) to compulsivity (negative reinforcement). The co...
متن کاملReward processing in obesity, substance addiction and non-substance addiction.
Similarities and differences between obesity and addiction are a prominent topic of ongoing research. We conducted an activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis on 87 studies in order to map the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) response to reward in participants with obesity, substance addiction and non-substance (or behavioural) addiction, and to identify commonalities and diff...
متن کاملBrain Reward and Stress Systems in Addiction
Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a dynamic and multi-faceted disease process in humans, with devastating health and financial consequences for the individual and society at large. The recently released fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) combined the previously separate abuse and dependence classifications for licit and illicit drugs of abuse into...
متن کاملDopaminergic Regulation of Striatal Interneurons in Reward and Addiction: Focus on Alcohol
Corticobasal ganglia networks coursing through the striatum are key structures for reward-guided behaviors. The ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens (nAc)) and its reciprocal connection with the ventral tegmental area (VTA) represent a primary component of the reward system, but reward-guided learning also involves the dorsal striatum and dopaminergic inputs from the substantia nigra. The majori...
