RESUMEN
La adicción a sustancias es un problema de salud pública a nivel
mundial. Un cerebro adicto se desarrolla a consecuencia de cambios en
la fisiología cerebral. Las drogas gustan porque activan prioritariamente
al sistema cerebral del placer; este efecto aumenta la probabilidad
de que el sujeto consuma nuevamente la droga. Sin embargo, este
consumo también activa, aunque en menor intensidad, a sistemas
cerebrales como al de castigo. Conforme se hace asiduo al consumo
de la droga, se presentan cambios en la actividad de diversos sistemas
neuroquímicos cerebrales. Uno de estos cambios es la hiperactivación
del sistema de castigo que se expresa ante la ausencia de la droga. Dicha
hiperactivación se asocia con la presencia del síndrome de abstinencia.
De esta manera, la recaída en el consumo de la droga ocurre para
eliminar las respuestas fisiológicas adversas asociadas a dicho síndrome
de abstinencia. Adicionalmente, hay un sistema que inhibe al del
placer. Se genera en la corteza prefrontal y termina activando al globo
pálido interno. Este pierde su control sobre el del placer, por lo que
facilita la ocurrencia de respuestas impulsivas. Igualmente, ocurre
plasticidad cerebral en regiones que controlan el consumo de la droga
provocando que se vuelva habitual y que se aprenda la relación entre
claves ambientales y el consumo de la droga. Es posible que exista un
cerebro pre-adicto o vulnerable a la adicción, dependiente de la carga
genética o por cambios epigenéticos. Por ello, es necesario conocer
cómo las variaciones genéticas están implicadas en las adicciones, a
fin de favorecer terapias más eficientes; además, controlar factores
ambientales que de otra manera facilitan el consumo de drogas por el
sujeto y de esta manera promover la prevención.
