In my talk I will review experimental evidence for the “dopamine hypothesis” of drug addiction, explore the various forms “drug-evoked synaptic plasticity” and demonstrate links of causality with adaptive behavior. the focus will be on circuits that control compulsions in vulnerable individuals, a defining symptom of addiction. We will see how this transition comes about and discuss predisposing for addictions vulnerability.
