Mesostriatal, mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine pathways
Dopamine is reward?
Hedonia
ReinforcementMotivation
Direct action of psychostimulants on dopamine transmission
Drugs of abuse increase extracellular dopamine

…but what does thistell us about addiction?
…but how is cost-benefit decision making being altered?• Cocaine feels better?
• Cocaine costs less?

Dopamine modulates cost-benefit analysis to acquire rewards
How does dopamine effect the decision-making process?
D = desirabilityB = benefitsC = costsD = B - C
D = B - αCwhere 0 < α < 1and α is a function of dopamine(high DA → low α)
