[<span>1</span>], we criticize that compulsive behaviour as defined primarily from the perspective of animal experimentation falls short of the clinical phenomenon. In particular, we argue that animal models of compulsion with immediate punishment do not adequately reflect long-term negative outcomes in human addiction. We also discuss that compulsive behaviour in OCD and addiction differ phenomenologically. Finally, we opine that human drug use can become a habit, but this does not imply a general loss of goal-directed decision-making. Instead, we claim that ‘individuals with drug addiction are neither automatons carrying out habitual behaviour without cognitive control nor merely individuals making bad choices’. Altogether, we conclude that habit formation can contribute to drug intake, as long as habitual behaviour is regarded as dimensionally but not categorically different from goal-directed decision-making and modifiable by human cognition. This statement is supported by studies from the ReCoDe consortium [<span>2</span>] and by a recent meta-analysis of the habit construct in animal models of alcohol use disorder [<span>3</span>], which did not indicate a strict habit-goal dichotomy. Instead, this meta-analysis suggests (i) a nuanced transition between goal directed and habitual decision making and (ii) distinguishes habitual responding from compulsivity [<span>3</span>].</p><p>Karen Ersche [<span>4</span>] criticizes our paper and suggests that OCD and addiction have more in common than we describe. She states that positive and negative reinforcement are associated with both drug intake and OCD, with which we agree.

In fact, we are not simply ‘rejecting’ the habit theory of addiction. Instead, we argue that the dual-system approach posits a categorical distinction between a habit and a goal-directed brain system, whereas nuanced transitions between these behavioural control systems occur in animals [<span>3</span>] and humans [<span>6</span>]. Thus, we argue that there is no overall loss of goal-directed behaviour, nor a general over-reliance on habits in individuals with drug addiction, but drug use itself can become a ‘habit’, that is, a bias toward drug-seeking in certain (e.g., stressful) circumstances [<span>7</span>].</p><p>Lee Hogarth [<span>8</span>] challenges our claim that","PeriodicalId":7289,"journal":{"name":"Addiction Biology","volume":"30 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/adb.70081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145146448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are limited studies examining the effects of magnesium valproate (VPA-Mg) on methamphetamine (MA) addiction, and the relevant mechanisms have not been thoroughly discussed. This study aims to explore the potential therapeutic effects of VPA-Mg on MA addiction and to investigate its possible mechanisms. The effects of VPA-Mg on MA addiction were investigated using conditioned place preference (CPP) and behavioural sensitisation models in rats. VPA-Mg was administered during CPP formation and extinction phases to evaluate its effects on MA-induced CPP formation and reinstatement. Behavioural sensitisation assessed the impact of VPA-Mg during sensitisation induction and expression phases, with spontaneous activity and MA dosing optimised beforehand. Furthermore, western blotting was performed on brain regions including the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (Hip), nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) to measure glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) and dopamine transporter (DAT) protein levels. VPA-Mg did not exhibit a significant impact on MA-induced CPP formation. VPA-Mg significantly reduced the establishment and expression of MA-induced behavioural sensitisation (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01). Pre-treatment with VPA-Mg for 3 days before the expression period also inhibited sensitisation (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). In addition, the ratio of p-GSK-3β to t-GSK-3β in the PFC, Hip and VTA of rats with behavioural sensitisation significantly decreased, and the expression of DAT decreased significantly (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01). VPA-Mg can reverse the increase in GSK-3β activity in the Hip and the decrease in DAT in the PFC and Hip caused by repeated MA use (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). VPA-Mg exhibits anti-addictive effects on MA dependence and relapse prevention. GSK-3β activation and DAT downregulation in addiction-related brain regions (PFC, Hip, VTA) are closely linked to MA addiction, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

Twenty-eight non–treatment-seeking adults, with AUDIT scores between 2 and 22, provided whole blood samples. We aimed to identify biomarkers that signal immune changes associated with early AUDIT score risk, where interventions may be most effective. Luminex multiplex immunoassays quantified 14 immune-related mediators in combined cell lysates and supernatants. IL-1β, IL-18, IL-7 and CCL11 were significantly elevated in individuals with higher AUDIT scores. IL-1β showed the largest effect size (Cohen's <i>d</i>) and was the most consistent predictor of both AUDIT and AUDIT-Consumption (AUDIT-C) scores across random forest and linear regression analyses. Moderated multiple regression (MMR) confirmed that IL-1β predicted both scores independent of other immune mediators. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses demonstrated discriminative potential, with IL-1β achieving an AUC of 0.81 (good discrimination) for AUDIT ≥ 6 (true positive rate [TPR] = 0.71; false positive rate [FPR] = 0.14) and an AUC of 0.94 (excellent discrimination) for AUDIT-C thresholds (TPR = 0.80; FPR = 0.00). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed greater immune variability in the high-risk group, particularly among proinflammatory mediators, suggesting immune dysregulation. This study demonstrates the utility of integrating whole blood immune profiling with high-sensitivity multiplex immunoassays, and applying both traditional statistical methods and machine learning to explore potential biomarkers for AUD risk.

The purpose of this study was to examine NAC in two rodent models of nicotine dependence.

In the second experiment, NAC (0, 50 and 100 mg/kg i.p.) was evaluated against the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine (0.2 mg/kg) using a two-lever procedure under a tandem schedule (VI10”-FR10) of food reinforcement. Pre-treatment with NAC in doses greater than 20 mg/kg attenuated the expression of conditioned hyperactivity when rats were placed in locomotor boxes previously paired with chronic nicotine administration. The same doses of NAC had modest effects in attenuating nicotine-stimulated hyperactivity in nicotine-treated or saline-treated rats tested in the same locomotor boxes. In the discrimination task, NAC did not generalise to the nicotine stimulus and nor did it modify the dose–response curve to nicotine, suggesting that NAC may not modify the subjective effects of nicotine. These results suggest NAC selectively attenuates conditioned responses to nicotine-paired stimuli without modifying nicotine-induced hyperactivity or the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine. Thus, the study proposes that if NAC was to act in a similar selective manner in humans, the specific action of NAC to attenuate conditioned responses may limit its potential as a treatment to manage nicotine dependence.</p>","PeriodicalId":7289,"journal":{"name":"Addiction Biology","volume":"30 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/adb.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process relies on neurocircuitry involved in emotional and behavioural regulation, particularly the ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), along with limbic and ventral striatal regions (e.g., amygdala, hippocampus and nucleus accumbens). These systems are highly sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, which may disrupt their ability to flexibly adapt in response to acute stress. This study investigated state-dependent changes (termed ‘flexibility’) in vmPFC-limbic/striatal and OFC-limbic/striatal functional connectivity from rest to acute stress in individuals with AUD versus matched controls and examined associations with coping strategies. Twenty-four adults with AUD (<i>age</i><sub><i>mean</i></sub> = 33, 11F) and 23 matched controls (<i>age</i><sub><i>mean</i></sub> = 32, 11F) underwent fMRI during resting-state followed by the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST) and completed the COPE Inventory. Functional connectivity between vmPFC-limbic/striatal and OFC-limbic/striatal regions was assessed during rest and stress (MIST) conditions. Group differences in state-dependent changes in functional connectivity were analysed using repeated-measures ANCOVA.

Group differences could be explained by planning time and general cognitive performance. Importantly, participants with AUD invested more time for planning, showed a higher correlation of planning depth with incentive value and showed lower response noise, potentially indicative of higher choice consistency.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The significant differences in planning time, moderation of planning depth by incentive value and choice consistency may reflect higher motivation and willingness to exert effort among participants with AUD compared to healthy controls. Overall, our findings do not support the notion that mild-to-moderate alcohol use disorder is associated with impairments in forward planning across multiple steps.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":7289,"journal":{"name":"Addiction Biology","volume":"30 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/adb.70072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144853814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
