Q

brain in gambling disorder

A

The ventral striatum and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, including the medial portion of the orbitofrontal cortex is implicated in stimulating urges in patients with pathological gambling.

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is involved in reward processing and impulse control, while ventral striatum is involved in dopaminergic innervation.

The angular cingulate cortex is implicated in cognitive control in patients with pathological gambling.

The hippocampus is related to behavioral inhibition in patients with pathological gambling disorder. Hippocampal volumes are often decreased in such patients, which is likely related to an inability to control ones behavior.

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activation is implicated in patients with pathological gambling exposed to gambling cues.

Alteration in the amygdala of patients with pathological gambling disorder is associated with risky decision-making.

mammillary bodies

A

a part of the diencephalon and is associated with the limbic system. Mammillary bodies are involved in the formation of new memories and are typically damaged in chronic alcoholics due to thiamine deficiency associated with Korsakoff syndrome.

Q

operant conditioning

A

involves reward and punishment to enforce a certain type of behavior,

also called instrumental learning

22
Q

classical conditioning

A

unconditioned response (life-threatening event) is coupled with a conditioned response (driving, and the area of the accident.) Despite the conditioned response not directly being dangerous, since it is paired with a scary unconditioned response, the mind does not differentiate between the two and now will avoid the conditioned response as much as the unconditioned response. It is also known as respondent or Pavlovian conditioning. It is a sort of learning process which pairs stimuli.
