Opioid Modulation of Major Neurotransmitter Systems: Acute, Chronic, and Withdrawal Effects
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 9, November 2026.Opioids are widely used but also frequently misused drugs that affect multiple neurotransmitter systems, including dopaminergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic pathways. Opioid‐induced neuroadaptations depend on the duration of drug exposure, with distinct changes also emerging following drug discontinuation.

Real and Apparent Deviations From Rational Choice
Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1153-1178, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper offers a taxonomy of real and apparent deviations from rationality. The taxonomy is based on three axes of divides—whereas the axes are successive refinements. The outermost‐axis divide delineates “anxiety‐based choices” from “anxiety‐free choices.” Anxiety‐based choices are real deviations such as the Allais and Ellsberg paradoxes ...

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms
Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...

The Role of Dopamine in Cue-induced Craving: A [11C]-(+)-PHNO PET Study in Tobacco-dependent Smokers [PDF]
, 2010 Environmental stimuli associated with drug use are related to drug craving and relapse. The mechanism of cue-induced craving is thought to involve the release of dopamine (DA) in brain regions associated with reward and habit formation.
