• Problematic Hypersexuality: A Review of Conceptualization and Diagnosis (2008, background): “It is well known that several drugs of abuse exert primary influence on the reward pathways by directly increasing dopamine levels within the nucleus accumbens and other areas of the brain (Koob et al., 1998; Schmitz, 2005).”
• Addiction: Beyond dopamine reward circuitry (2011, background): “Drugaddicted individuals will go to extreme behaviors to obtain drugs, even at the expense of seriously adverse consequences (2).”
• The association between Internet addiction and psychiatric disorder: A review of the literature (2012, background): “Volkow and Li have suggested that addiction-prone phenotypes for substance use disorders would also reflect sensitivity to other alternative reinforcers in the individual’s environment [56].”
• Sex Differences in Animal Models: Focus on Addiction (2016, background): “The preoccupation/ anticipation (or “craving”) stage of the addiction cycle involves the dysregulation of executive control via dysregulation of prefrontal cortex circuits (Koob and Volkow, 2010).”
• The perils of ignoring history: Big Tobacco played dirty and millions died. How similar is Big Food? (2009, result): “Human studies have shown similar findings and have examined how the same reward pathways affect the intake of food and drugs (Adam and Epel 2007; Kalivas and Volkow 2005; Kalra and Kalra 2004; Kelley and Berridge 2002; Volkow and Li 2005; Volkow and Wise 2005; Wang et al. 2004).”
• Treating Drug Abuse and Addiction in the Criminal Justice System: Improving Public Health and Safety (2009, background): “Molecular and neuroimaging studies have helped illuminate how genes may affect vulnerability to addiction and how repeated use of addictive drugs causes long-lasting disruptions to the structure and function of the brain.(55) Among the genes identified to contribute to the vulnerability for addictio”
• Pro v Con Reviews: Is Food Addictive? (2012, background): “Dysregulated DA signalling is associated with enhanced motivation to procure drugs, a hallmark of addiction, which is why drug-addicted individuals often engage in extreme behaviours to obtain drugs, even when they entail known severe and adverse consequences and may require sustained and complex be”
