Alcohol abuse is comorbid with abuse of many other drugs, some with similar pharmacology and others quite different. This leads to the hypothesis of an underlying, unitary dysfunctional neurobiological basis for substance abuse risk and consequences.
In this review, we discuss commonalities and distinctions of addiction to alcohol and other drugs. We focus on recent advances in preclinical studies using rodent models of drug self-administration.
While there are specific behavioral and molecular manifestations common to alcohol, psychostimulant, opioid, and nicotine dependence, attempts to propose a unifying theory of the addictions inevitably face details where distinctions are found among classes of drugs.
For alcohol, versus other drugs of abuse, we discuss and compare advances in: (i) neurocircuitry important for the different stages of drug dependence; (ii) transcriptomics and genetical genomics; and (iii) enduring effects, noting in particular the contributions of behavioral genetics and animal models.
酒精滥用与许多其他药物的滥用并存,其中一些药物具有相似的药理学特性,而另一些则截然不同。这引发了一种假设,即存在一种潜在的、统一的功能失调神经生物学基础,与物质滥用的风险和后果相关。
在本综述中,我们讨论了酒精成瘾与其他药物成瘾的共性和差异。我们重点关注使用药物自我给药啮齿动物模型的临床前研究的最新进展。
虽然酒精、精神兴奋剂、阿片类药物和尼古丁依赖存在特定的行为和分子表现,但试图提出一种统一的成瘾理论不可避免地会面临在不同类药物之间发现差异的细节问题。
对于酒精与其他滥用药物,我们讨论并比较了以下方面的进展:(i)对药物依赖不同阶段重要的神经回路;(ii)转录组学和遗传基因组学;以及(iii)持久影响,特别指出行为遗传学和动物模型的贡献。
