Drug addiction could be considered as usurpation of the physiological mechanisms of learning and memory. In this scenario, drug addiction is a long term memory that is constantly retrieved and reconsolidated, becoming stronger. The strengthening of this memory engages the activation of several intracellular signalings, which in turn, promote structural changes in the neural circuitry. Thu…
A neurobiological hypothesis of drug addiction is that it is due to a process of usurpation of the physiological mechanisms of learning and memory. Furthermore, according to the theory of reconsolidation, the long term memory, when raised, is capable of modulation can be subjected to update mechanisms. In this sense, it is possible that during the development of addiction, memory is const…
