Lecture 11 The Neurobiology of Addiction The Reward Pathway

Описание к видео Lecture 11 The Neurobiology of Addiction The Reward Pathway

Description of the brain's reward system, also known as the dopamine reward system with particular focus on the effects of drugs of abuse on reward processes and responses to reward cues. I discuss the reward prediction error signal and incentive salience and the role of executive functions or working memory in regulating our response to natural versus artificial rewards. Finally I discuss the role of stress as a cause of drug abuse and social networks as a buffer against drug abuse.
