MH701 Exam 3 review 2024
.Addiction is characterized by what?: impulsive drug craving, seeking & use that persists even in the face of negative consequences.
2.What parts of the brain are involved in the reward pathway?: the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens & pre-frontal cortex.
When activated by a rewarding stimuli, information travels from the VTA to the nucleus accumbens and
then up to the prefrontal cortex.
3.All drugs that lead to addiction increases:: dopamine in the ventral striatum.
4.Reinforcement of SUD results in what kind of sensations when a drug is abused?: "feel good"
5.What sensations in SUD are experienced when the drug exit the body?: "feel bad"
6.Social rewards associated with drug use:: disinhibition, euphoric mood and anxiety reduction.
7.Negative rewards from drug use are:: increased anxiety, dysphoria.
8.DA release in the reward center is further enhanced by the release of:: nat- ural morphine-like
neurotransmitters called neuropeptides.
9.Define abuse:: Self-administration of any drug in a culturally disapproved manner that cause adverse
consequences.
10.Define Addiction:: A behavioral pattern of drug abuse characterized by over- whelming
involvement with the use of a drug (compulsive use), the securing of it's supply, and a high tendency
to relapse after discontinuation.
11.Define compulsivity:: Repetitive actions inappropriate to the situation that persist, that have no obvious relationship to the overall goal, and often result in undesirable consequences, behavior that results in preservation, in response in the face of adverse consequences.
12.Cross-tolerance:: The ability of one drug to suppress the manifestations of physical dependence produced by another drug to maintain the physical dependent state.
13.Dependence:: The physiological state of adaption produced by repeated admin- istration of certain MH701 Exam 3 review 2024
drugs such as alcohol, heroin and benzos when they are abruptly discontinued, and are associated with physical drug withdrawal distinct from the motivational changes of acute withdrawal and protracted abstinence which is part of addiction.
14.Habit:: Responses triggered by environmental stimuli regardless of the current desirability of the consequences. The condition response to a stimulus has been reinforced and strengthened either by past
experience with reward (positive rein- forcement) or by omission of an adverse event (negative reinforcement).
15.Impulsivity:: The tendency to act prematurely without foresight; actions which are poorly conceived, prematurely expressed, unduly risky, or inappropriate to the MH701 Exam 3 review 2024
situation. Measured in 2 domains: the choice of a small, immediate reward over a larger, delayed reward,
or the inability to inhibit behavior to change the course of action or stop a response once it is initiated.
16.Rebound:: The exaggerated expression of the original condition sometimes experiences by patients immediately after cessation of an effective treatment.
17.Reinforcement:: The tendency of a pleasure-producing drug to lead to a repeat- ed self-
administration.
18.Relapse:: The recurrence, upon discontinuation of an effective medical treat- ment, of the original condition from which the patient suffered.
19.Tolerance:: When the body becomes less responsive to the drug with repeated exposure.
20.Withdrawal:: Painful physical and psychological symptoms that follow discon- tinuation of a drug.
21.What are some substances that can cause addiction?: Stimulants, nicotine, alcohol, sedative-
hypnotics, opioid, marijuana, hallucinogens and club drugs.
22.Addiction is characterized by:: compulsive drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of negative consequences.
23."Feel good" reinforcement is mediated by what pathways in drug abuse?-
: dopamine
24."Feel bad: reinforcement is mediated by what pathway in drug abuse?: -
GABA
25.DSM-5 criteria for substance abuse?: A maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to
clinically significant impairment or distress as manifested by 1 or more of the following, occurring
within a 12 month period:
1.Recurrent substance use resulting in failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school or home.
2.Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (driving an automobile,
operating a machine when impaired). MH701 Exam 3 review 2024
.Recurrent substance related legal problems.
4.Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interper- sonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of the substance.
26.DSM-5 criteria for substance dependence:: A maladaptive pattern of sub- stance abuse, leading to a clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by 3 or more of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12 month period.
1.Presence or tolerance to a drug.
2.Presence of withdrawal syndrome.
3.The substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended.
4.There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down on control
