Key concepts Addictive substances have initial positively valenced effects Over time, the nature of drug responses change Tolerance Withdrawal Incentive motivation These changes are durable Multiple processes may be involved Incentive sensitization Allostasis Habit formation
Neurobiology of Addiction.George F. Koob, Ph.D. FOCUS 2011;9:55-65.
Incentive-Sensitization Theory -Addictive drugs share the ability to produce long-lasting changes brain organization. -The brain systems that are changed include those normally involved in the process of incentive motivation and reward. - The critical neuroadaptations for addiction render these brain reward systems hypersensitive ( sensitized ) to drugs and drug-associated stimuli. -The brain systems that are sensitized do not mediate the pleasurable or euphoric effects of drugs (drug liking ), but instead they mediate a subcomponent of reward termed incentive salience or wanting
