Dopamine release usually has the ability to update info and set new goals in the prefrontal cortex, thus having the ability to avoid compulsive repetition of a behaviour. Addictive drugs provide a potent dopamine signal which disrupts the normal dopamine learning pathway in the prefrontal cortex.

Selecione das listas do Menu para completar o texto.

In ( non-addicted, addicted ) brains, areas such as the Anterior Cingulate Gyrus send inhibitory signals to the orbitofrontal cortex and thus the sensation of craving ( does not, does ) occur.
In ( addicted, non-addicted ) brains, the nucleus accumbens sends inhibitory signals to areas such as the Anterior Cingulate Gyrus so that the inhibitory signals are not sent to the Orbitofrontal cortex and thus the sensation of craving ( does, does not ) occur
