Psych 181: Dr. Anagnostaras Lec 12: Addiction

Addiction and dependence Addiction refers to the pattern of self-administration "A behavioral pattern of drug use, characterized by overwhelming involvement with the use of a drug (compulsive use), the securing of its supply, and a high tendency to relapse after withdrawal"

Definitions Addiction is not: Experimental drug use Recreational (casual) use Circumstantial use (Drug-taking is not compulsive drug-seeking and drug-taking)

Biopsychosocial models Assumptions The ‘habit-forming’ or rewarding effects of drugs are due to their action on endogenous neurotransmitter systems that normally play a role in the control of behavior by natural reinforcers (Need to understand neural systems normally involved in reward and motivated behavior)

Biopsychosocial models Drug-seeking 12.13 Aversive effects Conditioned stim. Cue effects of drug Euphoria Context Positive reinforcement Anxiety relief Genetics Behavioral mech. Modulating variables Functional enhance. Behavioral history Neural mech. Withdrawal relief Past drug history Monoamines Peptides

Reinforcement models Drugs as negative reinforcers - largely based on experience with alcohol, opiates, barbiturates Drugs as positive reinforcers - cocaine, amphetamine, heroin

Negative reinforcement models Drugs as negative reinforcers: drugs serve to increase the probability of further drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior because of their ability to alleviate unpleasant states

Negative reinforcement models Sub-Types of Negative Reinforcement Models Self-Medication Hypothesis Drugs are used to self-mediate, i.e., relieve symptoms that occur independent of drug use (e.g., pain, anxiety )

Negative reinforcement models Sub-Types of Negative Reinforcement Models Physical Dependence Hypothesis With the development of tolerance and physical dependence drug use is sustained in order to avoid the unpleasant consequences associated with withdrawal

Psychological dependence Distress Syndrome Reduction Theories people continue to take drugs to ease “distress syndrome” (physical and/or psychological) associated with the cessation of drug use perhaps due to adaptations in brain reward systems (compensatory rebound idea), or opponent process Withdrawal avoidance models

Relapse Relapse after detoxification The negative reinforcement view classically conditioned withdrawal

Relapse CS produces “drug-opposite” effect Withdrawal to an environmental context 12.19 CS produces “drug-opposite” effect

Positive Reinforcement Models Drug taking is maintained because drugs act as positive reinforcers thus increase the probability of preceding behavior (drug-taking) positive reinforcement models generally equate positive reinforcement with pleasure (“pleasure-seeking” model)

Relapse - The positive reinforcement view CS produces “drug-like” effect (a “conditioned high”; “needle freak”)

Relapse - The positive reinforcement view CS produces “drug-like” effect

Neural basis of reward Where do drugs act to produce positive reinforcement and reward?

Dopamine and natural rewards DA is implicated in mediating the effects of many rewards intracranial self-stimulation food water sex conditioned reinforcers

Dopamine and drug reward DA antagonists Local injection studies Neurochemical lesions Common psychostimulant properties Common actions on synaptic DA

DA and reward DA mediates drug reward increase self-administration because that behavior is reinforced by action of drug on DA systems (“positive reinforcement model”) increase because DA increase pleasure (“pleasure-seeking” model)

Traditional approaches “Drug craving is characterized by both the desire to experience the positive hedonic effects of the drug ... and the desire to avoid aversive withdrawal symptoms ...” Markou, Weiss, Gold, Caine, Schulteis & Koob, Psychopharmacology, 1993:112, p.163

Traditional approaches There are problems with both traditional positive (hedonia) and negative reinforcement models of addiction

Negative reinforcement Motivated by desire to relieve unpleasant state Problems: People and animals self-administer opioids at doses that are too low to produce physical dependence There is a high tendency to relapse even after an extended period of abstinence, long after withdrawal symptoms have subsided - conditioned withdrawal as explanation

Problems with conditioned withdrawal Many opiate addicts deny the existence of conditioned withdrawal signs Although many are aware of conditioned withdrawal they do not cite this as the reason for resuming drug use

“No, Doc, craving is when you want it - want it so bad you can almost taste it ... but you ain’t sick ... sick is, well sick.” from A.R. Childress et al., NIDA Research Monographs, Vol. 84, 1988)

Problems with conditioned withdrawal There is a poor correlation between craving (wanting drugs) and the occurence of conditioned withdrawal

Conclusion: physical dependence and withdrawal are not necessary nor sufficient conditions for addiction “Physical dependence is currently viewed not so much as a direct cause of drug dependence but as one of several factors that contribute to its development” (J.H. Jaffe, in A. Gilman et al. (eds.), The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 1990) “For rats and monkeys physical dependence is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for opiates to act as reinforcers” (C. Schuster, in G. Edwards et al. (eds.), The Nature of Drug Dependence, 1990) “The role of physical dependence in addiction is suggested to vary from drug to drug and to be of secondary importance in the understanding of compulsive drug self-administration (R.A. Wise & M.A. Bozarth, Psychological Review, 1987)

Positive reinforcement models Drugs promote drug-taking because of the action of drugs as positive reinforcers Positive reinforcers have the property that they increase the probability of the preceding behavior (drug-taking in this case)

Positive reinforcement models The reason people take drugs is because drugs increase the probability of drug-taking

Positive reinforcement models Drug self-administration is maintained because of the state drugs induce, not because they alleviate an unpleasant state “The only existing positive reinforcement view of addiction that might qualify as an explanatory theory identifies positive reinforcement with drug euphoria”. (R.A.Wise & M.A. Bozarth, Psychological Review, 1987, 94:469)

Hedonia (“pleasure-seeking”) view of addiction Primary motivational force driving drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior in the addict is the desire to obtain pleasure (euphoria) Hedonic effects of drugs are mediated by their actions on dopamine systems

Problems with a euphoria model We must assume that the subjective pleasurable effects of drugs are enormous

Problems with a euphoria model The incentive value of drugs is dissociable from their subjective pleasurable effects “Wanting” drugs (motivation to take drugs) is dissociable from their subjective pleasurable effects (“liking” drugs)

(from Lamb et al., JPET, 1991)

Dopamine does NOT mediate pleasure DA is not necessary for rats to make normal hedonic judgements about taste stimuli DA neurons often discharge in anticipation of rewards, not during commerce with the reward, when presumably subjective pleasure is experienced DA is released in the accumbens in response to aversive events and to stimuli previously associated with aversive events In humans DA antagonists do not reduce amphetamine-induced euphoria, but may reduce ratings of wanting amphetamine

Hedonia (“pleasure-seeking”) view of addiction Primary motivational force driving drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior in the addict is the desire to obtain pleasure (euphoria) Hedonic effects of drugs are mediated by their actions on dopamine systems If NO: How does the action of addictive drugs on dopamine systems promote drug-taking behavior?

An Incentive-Sensitization View Evidence for sensitization of neural systems mediating drug reward Psychomotor sensitization Sensitization of drug reward Sensitization of DA/accumbens system

Psychomotor sensitization

Psychomotor sensitization Drug Sample reference Amphetamine Segal & Mandell 1974 Cocaine Post & Contel 1983 Phenylethylamine Borison et al. 1977 Morphine Babbini et al. 1975 Phencyclidine Greenberg & Segal 1986 MDMA Spanos & Yamamoto 1989 Ethanol Masur & Boerngen 1980 Nicotine Kita et al. 1992 etc.

Sensitization of drug reward Facilitate acquisition of drug self-administration (e.g., Woolverton et al. 1984; Piazza et al. 1989,1990; Horger et al. 1990, 1991, 1992; Schenk et al. 1993; Valadez & Schenk 1994) Facilitate conditioned place preference (e.g., Lett 1989; Gaiardi et al. 1991; Shippenberg et al. 1995, 1996) Increase in “breakpoint” (progressive ratio) (e.g., Mendrek et al., 1998; Vezina, 1998)

Hedonic experience Associative learning Incentive salience attribution DOPAMINE The repeated administration of many drugs of abuse can produce persistent neuroadaptations in the neural systems responsible for incentive salience attribution, adaptations that render these systems hypersensitive (“sensitized”)

An Incentive-Sensitization View Sensitization leads to pathological “wanting”, that can be dissociated from the hedonic effects of drugs (“liking”)

Incentive-sensitization Addictive drugs can produce persistent neuroadaptations in brain regions involved in the process of reward, adaptations that render these regions hypersensitive (“sensitized”) These neuroadaptations alter the process of reward to render susceptible individuals hypersensitive to the incentive motivational effects of drugs (and drug-related stimuli), leading to more and more compulsive patterns of drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior The persistence of neural sensitization leaves addicts susceptible to relapse even long after the discontinuation of drug use
