    Abstract

    In addiction science- research is being carried out into one o) the most

    im%ortant systems o) the body the ndocannabinoid system- it has

    been argued that it can e/ert an in)luence on the immune system and

    the gastrointestinal system- howeer - the in)luence oer addiction

    neurobiology and the reward system remains relatiely under

    researched.

    oweer- the theories surrounding the structural bodies related to the

    reward systems neurochemical sensitie areas is 3uite well

    understood. erha%s there was more to this mysterious system o)

    rece%tors which was nown )or its e))ects on the nerous system- on

    both the central and the %eri%heral as%ects. It can %erha%s be best

    illustrated by the C"2+

    system- which is im%aired in multi%le sclerosis

    and Al6heimer7s disease.

    There was a 3uestion whether there would be any in)luence in these

    rece%tors when a %erson taes an illicit substance8 This reiew

    Introduction

    +ecreational drugs hae been since history began. It has been )ound that addiction

    has mani)ested when the %erson deelo%s a need to search )or and administer the

    drug!s#.

    9hen a %erson has an addiction- they o)ten e/hibit negatie emotional states- the

    most notable o) which are an/iety- de%ression and irritability- although other signs

    are mani)ested. Addicts )urther com%ound these emotional states when they are

    trying to sto% their drug use. Addicts o)ten hae a %articular ulnerability to days or

    een years o) rela%se relatie to their drug!s# o) choice.

    :euro%harmacological and neuroada%tie mechanisms o) addiction are currently

    being researched in an attem%t to synthesise the mechanisms. This could shed light

    on the methods o) how the brain behaes during occasional drug abuse right through

    to when the addict is ;a slae to the chemical

    the addiction %ro)iles o) abused drugs. It should be noted that there are a number o)

    brain com%onents o) the mesolimbic area o) the brain.

    *er the years- the neural mechanisms o) addiction and %ositie reward hae been

    researched- which has lead to a growing interest in the endocannabinoid !eC"#

    system.

    This reiew will coer the sections o) allostasis and drug reward systems- the hC"1

    and hC"2 systems @ where they are located and what their )unction is- the drugs o)

    and the conclusion will e/%lain how it all comes together.

    1. Allostasis and drug rewards

    1.1 Allostasis

    The body has an internal standard which is nown as homeostasis. The diagram

    below shows the mechanism o) the system- which is also nown as a negatie

    out electrogram testing#- the %rocess is carried out by reducing ion o%ening times-

    the )inal stage hel%s ion channel inetics. unctional oerla% between the di))erent

    s%ies can in turn increase the s%ie e))iciency. The oerall e))ect o) the combination

    o) increased energy e))iciency- reduced noise- and increased elocity o) conduction

    can be attributed to endotherm eolution. !4#. =uch an action indicates that the

    human brain tem%erature can7t be closely regulated as it would not be o%timal- rather

    it is a condition which hel%s the o%timal )unctioning o) the neuronal system.

    Another reason that homeostatic control may not be the best way to e/%lain holistic

    body )unctioning is that i) each organ sel) regulated- the body wouldn7t be able to

    ada%t to wor o%timally with the body. ach organ would- in this case- be re3uired to

    %osses its own blood and )uel su%%ly- resulting in a much greater strain on the heart

    !a large heart would be needed#- in addition to a bigger digestie ca%acity !to obtain

    the increased metabolites and nutrients the body re3uires#. !2#

    In reality- organs hae a mechanism which allows )or resources to be ;traded

    can it hae a sustained su%%ly o) de o/ygenated blood as it would re3uire a su%%ly

    )rom the heart and lungs. There would also be an additional re3uirement )or the

    digestie system to hae an increased ca%acity )or the )unctions o) digestion-

    absor%tion- e/cretion and cooling. It is notable howeer that this is a resource which

    cannot be stored- so it is a Bborrowed7 resource.

    As we are discussing the brain !as we are taling about how it alters in addiction#-

    the body doesn7t tend to tae Bloans7 )rom the brain- so the muscle borrows )rom the

    brain and the blood su%%ly- so cardiac out%ut shares dro% )rom 20G to 1G.

    The )orebrain is a structure which integrates arious lower leel %hysiological

    arousal res%onse mechanism- to release an increased amount o) the hormone C+

    or Corticotro%in +eleasing ormone# leels o) which can correlate with an/iety. !'#

    This is becoming an essential as%ect o) the mechanism o) addiction as an/iety %lays

    such a large %art in the emotional res%onse o) drug withdrawal- which will be

    discussed )urther in section (.

    eading bac to the discussion- the central nucleus connects reci%rocally with the

    hi%%ocam%us- !to which the central nucleus# lies beside- to allow e))icient storage

    and retrieal o) an/ious or )ear)ul memories. The amygdala re%orts Bconcerns7 to the

    %re)rontal corte/- which is shown in )igure 2!b# @ the Blimbic7 cascade. The %re)rontal

    corte/ !C# is an area which will be discussed )urther on in the reiew and is a

    region concerned with %lanning and deciding. This is a structure which allows

    signals regarding inci%ent needs and %ast dangers to sha%e %lans. The Bstic7 area

    o) antici%atory regulation o) the amygdala is o)ten the area used in moement and

    danger antici%ation. The enironment !the drug addiction# inoles a )orm o)

    )oraging which dictates how the organism decides on the best course o) action. In

    this as%ect the midbrain reward system undertaes the B)oraging7- which is the

    reward system- whilst the amygdala Bstic7 is the Bcarrot7.

    1.2 Drug +eward =ystem

    As we hae seen in the %reious to%ic- there is an interconnection between the

    di))erent areas o) the brain- which can be illustrated as in the diagram below with the

    di))erent neurochemicals.

    igure (- taen )rom re). !10#

    As mentioned and shown in the diagram- there are a number o) di))erent

    neurotransmitters inoled in signalling. There are howeer- certain ones which

    interact with the ndocannabinoid system !eC"#- these being gamma amino butyric

    acid !>A"A# and glutamate. "iogenic amines which are seen are do%amine-

    noradrenaline and serotonin.!10#

    The most nown amine associated with addiction is

    do%amine and 3uite o)ten it is the D2 rece%tors which are inoled. As noted- in

    %articular with cocaine.

    The main mechanism o) drug reward system is based around the %ositie reward

    and negatie reward theory o) ". . =inner. This theory shows that drug intae

    ~ 11~

  • 8/14/2019 Resubmission of my SD805 ECA

    Janine Gillespie Y2094142 SD805 ECA resubmit

    %roides a B%ositie reward7. This means that the drugs are a %ositie rein)orcer.

    The drug is deemed to be a stimulus in the organism7s %leasurable a%%roach. I) this

    behaiour occurs- it will be re%eated again and again when the same stimuli occurs.

    As in the =inner bo/- the mechanism can be ain to the rat obtaining )ood ia the

    leer- the )ood is the drug and the rat !a)ter )irst accidently bum%ing into the leer

    and the receiing )ood#- learns the %rocess. It is deemed that there is a need to hae

    the drug- which in turn- switches on a rein)orcement mechanism in the brain @ ;this is

    a good thing to hae- I want some more< message being sent to the brain.

    There is howeer- another as%ect to be taen into consideration with drugs- and that

    is the %harmacoinetics o) the drug. Abused drugs such as heroin and cocaine ! as

    the two %rime e/am%les#- are smoed- inhaled or gien intraenously. The

    rein)orced as%ect is the action needed to tae the drug so there)ore- it is re%eated

    and deemed to be the rein)orcement as%ect. It has been shown in arious tests on

    animal subJects that they will 3uicly learn that %ressing a leer %roides sel)

    medication with the drug o) interest through a %um% or other similar deice.

    Another im%ortant as%ect o) this theory is the )li%side o) negatie rein)orcement-

    which is when the stimulus concerned needs to be re%eated to sto% it- tae )or

    e/am%le- when the heroin addict is su))ering withdrawal sym%toms- they want to tae

    the drug to sto% them )eeling miserable. There is howeer another as%ect in drug

    addiction and that is tolerance. This is when the addict desired more o) a drug to

    react at all to the drug- so the addict has to obtain more drug to gie themseles a

    higher concentration o) the drug to hae the same e))ect as be)ore.

    Craing and rela%se is the ne/t to%ic )or discussion- which is a mani)estation o) the

    There is eidence that the C QTD is not being made im%ure by AA inhibition-

    and these )indings strongly suggest that that 2 @ A> has a role in this %rocess. The

    inhibitory %rocess within the C is also regulated by the eC" system. "ut- in

    contrast to the eC" @ QTD o) these e/citatory syna%ses- the modulation o) inhibitory

    transmission in the C is triggered by do%amine D2rece%tors being actiated and is

    tuning7 o) do%amine transmission which is eC" mediated- connects the limbic and

    The reiew will go through these drugs one at a time- starting with Cocaine.

    (.1 Cocaine

    Cocaine is a drug which is largely snorted or taen intraenously. A recent study

    has eidence o) brain C"2rece%tors modulating Cocaine7s actions in a rodent model.

    !(1#

    The e/%erimental data suggest that the selectie C"2agonist V91(( can inhibit

    intraenous cocaine sel) administration. The )igure below describes the e))ects o)

    V91(( or another com%ound- >9405&(( !which is another selectie C"2agonist-

    As seen in the diagram aboe- it was discoered that systematic administration o)

    V91(( !10- 20 mg %er g- intra%eritoneal#- had signi)icantly reduced the

    %rogressie brea %oint )or cocaine sel) administration in wt mice !)igure b#. It is

    arguable that there was a reduction in the strength o) the cocaine reward and or

    need )or drug taing behaiour a)ter V91(( was administered. C"1blocade by

    AF251 had considerably lowered the %rogression brea %oint ratio in rats. It was

    there)ore included in this e/%eriment and it was )ound that a concentration o) (mg

    %er g- it lowered the brea %oint in rats as seen in the )igure aboe. This suggests

    that the data is consistent with the V91(( being able to trigger a reduction in sel)

    administration o) cocaine indicating that the cocaine itsel) had a reduction in reward

    e))icacy.

    urther e/%erimentation was undertaen to determine whether V91(( action was

    brain or %eri%heral C"2mediated. This was obtained by studying intranasal

    microinJections o) the com%ound on i.. administration o) cocaine. This method was

    short- which o)ten drugs cannot %enetrate- can be administrated instead by the nose

    and it traels to the brain. !(1# The results showed that these inJections o)

    concentrations o) 50 and 100 Kg %er 10Wl slide- inhibited the cocaine sel)

    administration obsered- de%ending on the dose. This is illustrated by fig cas

    shown aboe. The ne/t ste% in the e/%eriment was to decide whether nasal

    administration o) V91(( was triggering the drug absor%tion e))ect in nasal

    asculature- then going into the enous deliery o) drug to the site o) action. =o-

    intraenous microinJections o) 100 and 200 Wg had no e))ect on the sel)

    administration o) cocaine as shown in fig. d. This data suggests that intranasal

    V91(( was triggering %harmacological e))ects which are mediated by the brain-

    actiating C"2rece%tors as o%%osed to the %eri%heral C"2rece%tors.

    There was a )urther e/%loration by obsering the e))ects o) the local administration o)

    V91(( into the :Ac on cocaine sel) administration. It was discoered that intra

    :Ac microinJections o) the V91(( com%ound- which were 0.(- 1 and ( Wg %er slide-

    signi)icantly inhibited sel) administration o) cocaine in wt rats in a dose de%endent

    administration o) AF,(0 at (Wg %er slideU.

    V91(( %ossesses no rein)orcing or aersie e))ects and this was shown by an

    e/%eriment which inoled training mice to learn the sel) administration o) cocaine

    done by obsering the e))ects o) intranasal or intra :Ac local administration o)

    V91(( on e/tracellular DA. It was discoered that intranasal administration o)

    There was a sudden increase in e/tracellular DA in C"2o mice a)ter V91(( was

    locally administered. The mechanism o) why this occurred is howeer unclear- it is

    arguable that V91(( may bind to non C"2rece%tors in C"2mice- which %roduces

    an increase in e/tracellular DA. Intra :Ac %er)usion o) AF,(0 1- 10 and 100 WFU

    This led to a suggestion that the eC"s ionically modulate :Ac DA release through

    the actiation o) brain C"2+. AF,(0 enhanced e/tracellular DA a%%eared stronger

    This is a suggestion there)ore that the V91(( triggered inhibition o) DA release is

    long lasting disinhibition !DQQ# o) striatal out%ut neurons as a result o) the syna%tic

    strength being reduced at inhibitory neurons. =triatal slices which hae been acutely

    e/%osed to moderate alcohol doses clearly reduce the eC" mediated DQQ in

    neurons in the dorsolateral striatum. !14# DQQ was also reduced signi)icantly in the

    dorsolateral striatum o) rats that had consumed %harmacologically releant amounts

    o) ethanol )or seeral wees oluntarily.

    (.( *%ioids

    *%ioids- which are heroin and mor%hine- hae their mu !W# rece%tors inoled in drug

    addiction- with both these rece%tors and the C"1rece%tors being e/%ressed similarly

    in a ast number o) brain areas inoled in brain reward %rocesses. !1# They also

    both hae similar signalling cascades. There is growing eidence to suggest that

    there is a )unctional interaction between the eC" and o%ioid systems. 9hen each

    system is actiated- it %roduces similar behaioural res%onses which include

    locomotor inhibition or su%%ression- analgesia and reward. The eC" a%%ears to

    e/hibit a modulatory in)luence on a number o) o%ioid triggered %rocesses.

    C"1+ e))icacy is diminished in the striatum o) W o%ioid rece%tor o mice- whilst sel)

    administration o) heroin or re%eated administration o) mor%hine leads to increased

    C"1+ )unctioning in a brain reward system. Deletion o) C"1+s increases delta !L#

    4 Conclusion

    This %articular to%ic is an ongoing a))air- and there is more and more in)ormation

    )iltering through- in %articular with cocaine and the C"2system ndocannabinoid

    system. *%ioids are a to%ic which is also being researched in addition to the eC"

    system- as many >C+s and their or%han rece%tors are being discoered. or the

    bene)it o) the reiew- this is a brie) oeriew o) the im%act which the eC" system has

    as a whole- had on neurochemical signalling. This to%ic will hae the %otential to be

    e/%lored more broadly. At this %oint in time- the eidence %oints to the eC" system

    haing a maJor im%act on the understanding o) the neurochemistry o) addiction and

    how to treat addiction disorders by %harmaceutical means.
