    Addiction: Brain and Cognitive Stimulation for Better Cognitive Control and Far Beyond

    Addiction behaviors are characterized by conditioned responses responsible for craving and automatic actions as well as disturbances within the supervisory network, one of the key elements of which is the inhibition of prepotent response. Interventions such as brain stimulation and cognitive training targeting this imbalanced system can potentially be a positive adjunct to treatment as usual. The relevance of several invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques in the context of addiction as well as several cognitive training protocols is reviewed. By reducing cue-induced craving and modifying the pattern of action, memory associations, and attention biases, these interventions produced significant but still limited clinical effects. A new refined definition of response inhibition, including automatic inhibition of response and a more consistent approach to cue exposure capitalizing on the phase of reconsolidation of pre-activated emotional memories, all associated with brain and cognitive stimulation, opens new avenues for clinical research

    Figures hybrides de l’ultime, structuration et lignes de fuites : santé mentale, psychiatrie et digitalisation de la société

    peer reviewedL’objectif de cet article est d’analyser comment les figures de l’ultime se composent et composent les structurations et les lignes de fuites de la santé mentale numérique. Ce texte s'inspire des analyses et des observations des réalisations du projet européen IT4Anxiety co-financé par Interreg Europe Nord-Ouest. Les structurations sont des agglomérats stables de discours, d’acteurs (usagers, professionnels, chercheurs…), d’affects, d’objets - qui composent des figures de l’ultime. Les lignes de fuites sont des possibles qui tracent des futuribles hors et entre les figures. Pour cet article, nous ne cherchons pas à définir le concept « d’ultime » ni à nous attacher à une définition en particulier. Nous transposons l’ultime comme une possibilité heuristique et herméneutique à partir du nouveau matérialisme pour interroger de manière décentrée l’e-santé mentale en tentant de nous départir du technocentrisme ou de l’anthropocentrisme [**]. Avec le développement des objets connectés et l’usage de l’intelligence artificielle, notre expérience des projets européens et nos cadres théoriques nous font présupposer un véritable changement de paradigme dans le domaine de la psychiatrie

    A Comparative Event-Related Potentials Study between Alcohol Use Disorder, Gambling Disorder and Healthy Control Subjects through a Contextual Go/NoGo Task.

    (1) Background: Inhibitory and rewarding processes that mediate attentional biases to addiction-related cues may slightly differ between patients suffering from alcohol use (AUD) or gambling (GD) disorder. (2) Methods: 23 AUD inpatients, 19 GD patients, and 22 healthy controls performed four separate Go/NoGo tasks, in, respectively, an alcohol, gambling, food, and neutral long-lasting cueing context during the recording of event-related potentials (ERPs). (3) Results: AUD patients showed a poorer inhibitory performance than controls (slower response latencies, lower N2d, and delayed P3d components). In addition, AUD patients showed a preserved inhibitory performance in the alcohol-related context (but a more disrupted one in the food-related context), while GD patients showed a specific inhibitory deficit in the game-related context, both indexed by N2d amplitude modulations. (4) Conclusions: Despite sharing common addiction-related mechanisms, AUD and GD patients showed different patterns of response to (non-)rewarding cues that should be taken into account in the therapeutic context.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
