Models of addiction: role of dopamine and other neurobiological substrates Paul E. M. Phillips, Ph.D. Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department of Pharmacology
2
Mesostriatal, mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine pathways
3
Dopamine is reward? Hedonia Reinforcement Motivation
4
Direct action of psychostimulants on dopamine transmission
5
Drugs of abuse increase extracellular dopamine Di Chiara & Imperato, 1988
6
Effects of cocaine on dopamine transmission measured with high temporal resolution Cocaine
7
Cocaine self administration each operant response

Dopamine increases during drug taking 0120240360480 100 nM Time (s)

E (V vs Ag/AgCl) app Dopamine increases to cocaine-related cues 50 nM 2 s

Post-response encodes reward expectation Maintenance Reinstatement ns * Extinction * 0 50 100 150 [DA] (nM)
13
Dopamine increases during drug taking 2 s 50 nM
14
Dopamine increases during drug taking 2 s 50 nM Phillips et al (2003) Nature 422, 614-8 Lever approach

Dopamine triggers cocaine seeking 0 1 2 3 Control 0120240360480600 Inter-lever press interval (s) Number of lever presses 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 * * * * * Stimulated -60-3003060 Time (s) Number of lever presses 0 1 2 3 Control * * * * * Stimulated 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
16
“Ectopic” dopamine triggers behavioral switching 100 nM 60 s
17
Subsecond dopamine release promotes reward seeking… Phillips et al (2003) Nature 422, 614-8 -60-3003060 Time (s) Number of lever presses 0 1 2 3 Control * * * * * Stimulated 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 …but what does this tell us about addiction? …but how is cost-benefit decision making being altered? Cocaine feels better? Cocaine costs less?
18
Decision making costs “desirability” benefits minus costs

Would you buy a hotdog for three dollars? $3 2 3
21
$3 4 3 +1 Would you buy a steak for three dollars?
22
What’s the alternative? $3 2300 0
23
Have I eaten today? $3 2302 -2
24
What about drugs? 1000 +10
25

27
I heard on the news that drugs are bad for me 2300 0
28
My partner threatened to leave me if I used drugs 2400 -20
29
What happens to decision making during addiction? 2300 0 ?? “Rational” decision makerAddict

1. Drugs are really good 2300 0 +10 “Rational” decision makerAddict 4300
31
2. I don’t care about the consequences 2300 0 +10 “Rational” decision makerAddict 2100

Taste reactivity as a measure of hedonia/aversion Berridge, 2000
39
Taste reactivity as a measure of hedonia/aversion Berridge, 2000
40
Taste reactivity as a measure of hedonia/aversion Berridge, 2000
41
Taste reactivity is not altered after dopamine depletion Berridge et al, 1989
42
Cannon & Palmiter, 2003 Reward preference in the absence of dopamine
43
Cannon & Palmiter, 2003 Reward preference in the absence of dopamine
44
Nucleus accumbens dopamine lesions suppress responding for higher efforts Salamone et al, 2003
45
Zhang et al, 2003 Salamone et al, 2003 Dopamine modulates cost-benefit analysis to acquire rewards
46
How does dopamine effect the decision-making process? D = desirability B = benefits C = costs D = B - C D = B - αC where 0 < α < 1 and α is a function of dopamine (high DA → low α)
