Q

what is tolerance

A

Drug tolerance is defined either as the decreased effec-tiveness (or potency) of a drug that results with repeated administrations, or as the necessity of increasing the dose of a drug in order to maintain its effectiveness after repeated administrations.

Q

Some drugs work by blocking these receptor sites and reducing the effect of the neurotransmitter. what is bodies reponse (pharmodynamic)

A

There is a homeostatic mechanism that detects when this happens and the cell can respond in a number of ways, such as by manufacturing more receptor sites, increasing receptor-site sensitivity to the neurotransmitter, or by increasing the synthesis and release of the neurotransmitter.

Q

what cause withdrawl symptoms

A

when the drug is discontinued and its effects disappear, it takes some time for the body to readjust to the drug’s absence. During this readjustment, the com-pensatory responses are what cause withdrawal symptoms.

Q

what the difference between withdrawl and hangover. give alc example

A

refers to the aftermath of the acute effects of a drug, such as when you go out drinking at night and then feel sick the next day. Many of the symptoms of an alcohol hangover are the direct result of toxic effects of alcohol, such as dehydration or stomach irritation which remain after the intoxication. But some effects, like sensi-tivity to lights and noise, can be thought of as brief with-drawal symptoms that are compensatory responses to the effects of alcohol.

A

opponent process theory

44
Q

how does opponent process theory explain acute tolerance

A

When you take a drug, its effect will be greatest before the B processes build up. As the B processes get stronger, the strength of the A process will diminish

45
Q

If you take a drug continuously for weeks or months

and maintain a fixed level of the drug in the body so that withdrawal symptoms never occur, what happens

A

the compensatory response builds up.

2 types of conditioning of drug effects

A

classical and operant

51
Q

A 
unconditioned stimulus (US)
unconditioned response (UR)
conditioned stimulus (CS)
conditioned response (CR).
52
Q

The conditioning of drug effects is more complicated than it first appears because …

A

the UR and the CR to the drug are not always the same. Sometimes, the stimulus paired with a drug, when presented in the absence of the drug, produces a physiological response

53
Q

what becomes the UR and CR in drug conditioning then

A

in many cases, these compensatory responses, not the initial effects of the drug, are what become conditioned to stimuli that are repeatedly paired with the administration of the drug

54
Q

tolerance that is only evident only in the enviro where the drug is experienced

A

conditional tolerance

55
Q

how is conditioned tolerance explained

A

the envi-ronment repeatedly associated with the drug acts like a CS. the environment associated with the administration of the drug elicits physiological responses opposite to the effect of the drug. These changes help prepare the rat for the drug and diminish its effect.

56
Q

he injected a rat with saline and gave it the paw lick latency test in an environment that had previously been associated with repeated injections of morphine, the rat’s latencies would be even shorter than normal; that is, the …

A

This was the compensatory response that had been produced by the morphine envi-ronment through conditioning.

Q

chronic heroin users regularly administer doses many times greater than a dose that would kill a non-tolerant user. so how does this person ever overdose on heroine

A

result of mixing heroin with other drugs, espe-cially alcohol. But many others appear to result from a sudden loss of tolerance.

62
Q

why will people have a sudden loss of tolerance

A

They reasoned that tolerance to heroin is partly con-ditioned to the environment where the drug is normally admin-istered. If the drug is taken in a new setting, much of the conditional tolerance disappears, and the addict is more likely to overdose.

66
Q

how do these conditioned withdrawl symptoms go away then?

A

extinction—that is, the presen-tation of conditioned stimuli in the absence of drug administration.

67
Q

if tolerance is a result of learning strategies to compensate for the effect of a drug, then the development of tolerance should depend on the occurrence of … when a compensatory response is made.

A

reinforcement

68
Q

participants given information or feedback about their performance, whether they were paid money or not, developed tolerance rapidly, and the other groups developed tolerance slowly, if at all: explain

A

participants’ knowledge that they were resisting the effects of alcohol was sufficient reinforcement for learning to resist the effects of alcohol.

69
Q

If Henri Paul was that tolerant, could alcohol have played

a role in the accident?

A

Henri Paul was able to walk and talk normally, his intoxication prior to get-ting behind the wheel went seemingly undetected. Walking and talking are behaviors that most regular drinkers are able to practice under
the influence of alcohol; very often, those
behaviors are rewarded with social approval. Because Henri Paul was a professional driver, it would have been disastrous for him to exhibit any effects of alcohol intoxication before driv-ing. Therefore, walking and talking were likely to be the first behaviors restored by both acute and chronic tolerance. Driving is a complex task requiring many different cogni-tive and motor skills.

70
Q

what is the oppoistie of tolerance

A

sensetization

71
Q

what is sensetization

A

for certain effects of a drug to increase with repeated administrations

72
Q

when can sensitization occur

A

after only a single low dose of a drug.

73
Q

what are stereotyped behaviours

A

At high doses, stereotyped behaviors may be seen. Stereotyped behaviors are invariable, repetitive move-ments, such as head bobbing and sniffing, which are engaged in for extended periods of time and appear to have no purpose

74
Q

drugs like cocaine and amphetamine, even at low doses, are able to produce symptoms of psychosis and even convulsions in chronic users, although they do not cause these effects in beginning user what is this an example of

A

sensitization

75
Q

Like tolerance, sensitization may also be conditioned

to a particular environment

A

t

76
Q

how is sensitization very similar to tolerance

A

if sensitization develops in response to repeated administration of a drug in a specific environment, then sensitization will be greatly diminished or will not appear at all when the drug is given in a different environment. Second, if sensitization results from repeated injections in a specific environment, then that environment will act as a CS for a drug-like CR.

77
Q

how is sen and tol different 2

A

sensitization appears to be a mirror image of tolerance, except that the conditioned response is a drug-like response rather than a drug-opposite response. One way in which sensitization may differ from toler-ance is in its persistence. Even a single dose of a drug can create long-lasting sensitization.

78
Q

When the drug-like CR (activation) is elicited in conjunc-tion with the drug effect (also activation), what is the result

A

there is an enhanced drug effect

79
Q

how long can sensitization last

A

increases with time and never dissipates

80
Q

what is cross sensitization

A

(stress can do) animals with a sensitization to mor-phine will also show increased behavioral activation to cocaine and amphetamine, and vice versa.

81
Q

Stress-induced cross sensitization of drug effects appears to result from the impact of the hormone … on the development and functioning of the meso-limbic and mesocortical dopamine pathways

A

corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)

82
Q

what neuronal effect is responsible for sensitization

A

Sensitization clearly involves the brain’s general motiva-tion control system, which is responsible for arousal and approach to both conditioned and natural incentives such as food and receptive sexual partners

83
Q

Sensitization of this system has been proposed as an explanation for the excessive “wanting” (craving) in addiction elicited by exposure to a drug or its conditioned cues

A

A part of this system that becomes sensitized and hyperactive is the mesolimbic dopamine pathway.

84
Q

An addi-tional component of the brain’s motivational circuitry is the …. Hyperactivity in this pathway may be responsible for the sensitization of stereo-typic behaviors that eme

A

striatum

89
Q

the placebo effect can be blocked by naloxone what does this tell us

A

he placebo effect involves the same pain control mecha-nisms as those of morphine and other opioids. (but still some effect so is working on more than one system)
