Extinction circuits for fear and addiction overlap in prefrontal cortex. (2009, background): “Human addicts resemble patients with vmPFC lesions on certain measures of cognitive inhibitory control (Bechara 2005).”
Affective Determinants of Health Behavior (2018, background): “In addition to general dual-process models, more specific models have been developed to account for the development of common mental disorders, such as addictive behaviors (Bechara, 2005; Wiers & Stacy, 2006), anxiety (Ouimet, Gawronski, & Dozois, 2009), and depression (Beevers, 2005).”
The Neurocircuitry of Impaired Insight in Drug Addiction (2009, neutral): “Abnormalities in the insula and medial regions of the prefrontal cortex (which include the anterior cingulate and mesial orbitofrontal cortices), and in subcortical regions (including the striatum), have been highlighted when comparing drug addicted individuals with neurological patients with focal ”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, background): “…making but do not display the impairments in sustained attention and executive control that are characteristic of individuals with damage in dorsolateral frontal regions (e.g. Bechara, 2005; Duncan et al., 1996; Kimberg et al,, 1998; McCarthy and Warrington, 1990; Pennington and Ozonoff, 1996).”
REVIEW: Behavioural assessment of drug reinforcement and addictive features in rodents: an overview (2006, background): “Addiction, however, is a much more restricted phenomenon with a prevalence of not higher than 10% of the total population (Bechara 2005; Li & Volkow 2005).”
Integrating psychological and neurobiological considerations regarding the development and maintenance of specific Internet-use disorders: An Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model. (2016, positive): “…and maintenance of specific Internet-use disorers is based on neuropsychological and neuroscientific research nd theories of substance addictions (Bechara, 2005; Goldstein t al., 2009; Goldstein and Volkow, 2002, 2011; Kalivas and Volkow, 005; Koob and Volkow, 2010; Volkow and Fowler, 2000;…”
Environmental statistics and the trade-off between model-based and TD learning in humans (2011, background): “Precisely delineating these approaches is key to understanding human decision systems, especially since many problems of behavioral control such as addiction have been attributed to partial failures of one component [2].”
Addiction related alteration in resting-state brain connectivity (2010, positive): “Taken together, the abnormality of functional connectivity in heroin users observed here supports the theories of addiction positing that the drug craving and motivation are enhanced in the addicted state, whereas the strength of cognitive control is weakened (Baler and Volkow, 2006; Bechara, 2005; ”
Triune ethics: The neurobiological roots of our multiple moralities (2008, background): “The PFC may be damaged by behavior choices such as binge drinking (Bechara, 2005), and violent video game playing, which suppress activation of the PFC even during normal problem solving, turning normal brains into ones that look like those of aggressive delinquents (Mathews et al.”
How we relate to brands: Psychological and neurophysiological insights into consumer–brand relationships (2012, background): “In summary, previous fMRI investigations point to the insula as a crucial neurophysiological mechanism for diverse but related psychological phenomena such as urging, addiction, loss aversion, and interpersonal love—all of which can be traced back to the insula's core function of receiving input fro”
Impulsivity, Frontal Lobes and Risk for Addiction (2009, background): “One theorized anatomical basis for such impairments is a relative dominance of signaling with an amygdaladriven impulsive system (AMG), relative to a prefrontal cortex (PFC) reflective system (Bechara, 2005).”
Dual-process theories of decision-making: A selective survey (2014, background): “Benhabib and Bisin (2004) show that an agent with the ability to invoke either an automatic process susceptible to temptation or a costly but non-tempting control process will follow a simple consumption–savings plan characterized by a cut-off rule for invoking the control process.”
Functional Neuroimaging of Intertemporal Choice Models: A Review (2010, background): “Note that this perspective matches well to the pervasive dual-systems account of behavioral control (Bechara, 2005; Ernst & Paulus, 2005; Kahneman, 2003; Loewenstein, 1996).”
Prospection and the Present Moment: The Role of Episodic Foresight in Intertemporal Choices between Immediate and Delayed Rewards (2016, background): “This is particularly the case in some highly substance-dependent individuals, who have been shown to heavily underweight potential future consequences (Bechara, 2005; Bechara & Damasio, 2002; Petry, Bickel, & Arnett, 1998).”
