摘要

Drug addiction is a process beginning with the initial exposure to a drug of abuse, and leading, in some individuals, to chronic habitual use, and high rates of relapse. Microdialysis allows researchers to monitor the neurochemical changes that occur in the brain after the initial exposure to a drug, and the neurochemical changes that occur with repeated exposure. These changes in the brain are often referred to as drug-induced neuroplasticity, and the aim of this article is to review studies that have utilized microdialysis to increase our understanding of the neuroplasticity that occurs in the process of addiction. We will review how several neurotransmitter systems, including glutamate, GABA, the monoamines, and others, are altered after chronic drug exposure, and how microdialysis can be used to determine if putative treatments for addiction can reverse the drug-induced neuroplasticity in these systems. We will also briefly discuss our recent research using a known change in GABA neurotransmission that occurs during reinstatement of drug-seeking to screen for possible novel treatments to prevent relapse. Overall, microdialysis in combination with other behavioral and pharmacological techniques has greatly increased our understanding of addiction-related neuroplasticity, and provides a means for discovering new ways to prevent these changes and treat addiction.
