Substance related d/o are a cluster of d/o in which

Cognitive
behavioral
and physical sx occur

GENETIC LOADING

Involves 2 neurobiological processes:
1) reinforcement
**the process of + & - rewards is physiologically linked to memory fxn
2) neuroadaption
**drug specific alterations in the normal level & fxn of NTs occur as the body adapts to the chronic presence of the substance abuse and can lead to tolerance and withdrawal
Genetic loading in substance d/o main points

Biological theory of etiology of Substance related d/o
Individuals w. a strong genetic vulnerability to addiction are thought to have defects in the working of the reward center of the brain which predisposed them to stronger-than-normal positive rewards that draw them to substance use

this also predisposes them to stronger-than-normal negative rewards making it more difficult to stop abuse once it has begun
According to the Biological theory of etiology of Substance related d/o what predisposes them to stronger-than-normal negative rewards making it more difficult to stop abuse once it has begun
Genetic loading

thought to have defects in the working of the reward center of the brain
Individuals w. a strong _________ to addiction are thought to have defects in the working of the _______ of the brain which predisposed them to stronger-than-normal positive rewards that draw them to substance use
Individuals w. a strong
*** genetic vulnerability****
to addiction are thought to have defects in the working of the ****reward center*****
of the brain which predisposed them to stronger-than-normal positive rewards that draw them to substance use

Biological theory of etiology of Substance related d/o
Genetic loading and substance abuse
genetic vulnerability to addicition d/t problems with the reward center (nucleus accumbens) makes them have very strong + and - rewards

so stronger high when on substance

stronger low when try to quit substance

Involves 2 neurobio processes
1) reinforcement
2) neuroadaption
Reinforcement + & - main points
brain based changes in structure and fxn can lead to addictive behavior. Changes appear to occur w. any drug of abuse

the process of + & - rewards is physiologically linked to memory fxn

reinforcement results in "feel good" sensations when a drug of abuse is used and in "feel bad" sensations when the drug exits the body

Positive rewards of reinforcement result in the social rewards commonly associated w/ drug use such as disinhibition, euphoric mood and anxiety reduction (mediated by DA pathways)

negative rewards are aversive such as increased anxiety and dysphoria (mediated bye the GABA pathways)
Negative rewards are aversive such as
increased anxiety and dysphoria (mediated bye the GABA pathways)

Reinforcement one of the 2 neurobio processes responsible for sub d/o
Positive rewards of reinforcement result in the social rewards commonly associated w/ drug use such as
disinhibition, euphoric mood and anxiety reduction (mediated by DA pathways)

Reinforcement one of the 2 neurobio processes responsible for sub d/o
________ results in "feel good" sensations when a drug of abuse is used and in "feel bad" sensations when the drug exits the body
Reinforcement
Feel good sensations mediated by
DA pathways

Reinforcement results in "feel good" sensations when a drug of abuse is used and in "feel bad" sensations when the drug exits the body.
Feel bad sensations mediated by
Gamma-amin-butyric acid (GABA) pathways

Reinforcement results in "feel good" sensations when a drug of abuse is used and in "feel bad" sensations when the drug exits the body.

Biological theory of etiology of sub d/o
Reinforcement occurs in what areas of the brain
Ventral tegmental area
&
nucleus accumbens

Collectively call the reward center
Collectively call the reward center
Ventral tegmental area
&
nucleus accumbens

Reinforcement occurs in this area of the brain
During reinforcement

DA release w/in the reward center (nucleus accumbens & ventral tegmental area) is further enhanced by
the release of natural morphine like NTs called neuropeptides (enkephalins, beta-endorphins

neuropeptides further enhance the reinforcing pleasure experienced by the individual
________ further enhance the reinforcing pleasure experienced by the individual
neuropeptides

natural morphine like NTs called neuropeptides (enkephalins, beta-endorphins)
Neuropeptides define
natural morphine like NTs called neuropeptides (enkephalins, beta-endorphins)

DA release w/in the reward center (nucleus accumbens & ventral tegmental area) is further enhanced by neuropeptides

Therefore neuropeptides further enhance the reinforcing pleasure experienced by the individual
enkephalins & beta-endorphins are examples of
Neuropeptides

natural morphine like NTs called neuropeptides

DA release w/in the reward center (nucleus accumbens & ventral tegmental area) is further enhanced by neuropeptides

Therefore neuropeptides further enhance the reinforcing pleasure experienced by the individual
What happens to the DA system with repeated drug use?
With repeated drug use, the DA system becomes increasingly sensitized

Eventually associated drug use stimuli (e.g. pictures of drug paraphernalia) can cause DA release, leading to reinforcement of use and often to increased drug use.
With repeated drug use, the DA system becomes increasingly sensitized

Eventually associated drug use stimuli (e.g. pictures of drug paraphernalia) can cause DA release, leading to reinforcement of use and often to increased drug use.
DA release, leading to reinforcement of use and often to increased drug use.
With repeated drug use, the DA system becomes
increasingly sensitized

Eventually associated drug use stimuli (e.g. pictures of drug paraphernalia) can cause DA release, leading to reinforcement of use and often to increased drug use.
Why does associated drug use stimuli (e.g. pictures of drug paraphernalia) cause cravings?
With repeated drug use, the DA system becomes increasingly sensitized

Eventually associated drug use stimuli (e.g. pictures of drug paraphernalia) can cause DA release, leading to reinforcement of use and often to increased drug use.
Neuroadaption

Main points
Brain based changes in structure and fxn can lead to tolerance & withdrawal

drug specific alterations in the normal level & fxn of NTs occur as the body adapts to the chronic presence of the substance of abuse

Neuroadaptive processes become very significant when the individual stops substance use

these processes become the basis for withdrawal sx as adaptive responses are unopposed when the substance is no longer present

Neuroadaptive changes may be more permanent in some individuals possibly lasting for yrs thus increasing their potential fro relapse
How long to do neuroadaptive changes last?
Neuroadaptive changes may be more permanent in some individuals possibly lasting for yrs thus increasing their potential fro relapse
Why after a long period of sobriety do individuals who return to sub abuse often pick up at the same level of tolerance & physical impact as experienced before sobriety
Neuroadaptive changes (Brain based changes in structure and fxn can lead to tolerance & withdrawal) may be more permanent in some individuals possibly lasting for yrs thus increasing their potential fro relapse
Brain based changes in structure and fxn can lead to tolerance & withdrawal
Neuroadaption

drug specific alterations in the normal level & fxn of NTs occur as the body adapts to the chronic presence of the substance of abuse
Neuroadaptive processes become very significant when the individual ___________
stops substance use
drug specific alterations in the normal level & fxn of ______ occur as the body adapts to the chronic presence of the substance of abuse
Neurotransmitters

Card describes neuroadaption
Possibility of relapse is increased by
Neuroadaptive changes (Brain based changes in structure and fxn can lead to tolerance & withdrawal) may be more permanent in some individuals possibly lasting for yrs thus increasing their potential fro relapse

this concept helps to explain why after a long period of sobriety do individuals who return to sub abuse often pick up at the same level of tolerance & physical impact as experienced before sobriety
