  • RUNNING HEAD: Anomalous Experiences and Hypnotic Suggestibility
    Anomalous experiences and hypnotic suggestibility 1 RUNNING HEAD: Anomalous experiences and hypnotic suggestibility Anomalous experiences are more prevalent among highly suggestible individuals who are also highly dissociative David Acunzo1, Etzel Cardeña2, & Devin B. Terhune3* 1 Centre for Mind/Brain Sciences, University of Trento, Rovereto, Italy 2 Department of Psychology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden 3 Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths, University of London, London, UK * Correspondence address: Devin B. Terhune Department of Psychology Goldsmiths, University of London 8 Lewisham Way New Cross, London, UK SE14 6NW [email protected] Word count: 3,186 The data that support the findings of this study are openly available in Open Science Framework at osf.io/cfa3r. Anomalous experiences and hypnotic suggestibility 2 Abstract Introduction: Predictive coding models propose that high hypnotic suggestibility confers a predisposition to hallucinate due to an elevated propensity to weight perceptual beliefs (priors) over sensory evidence. Multiple lines of research corroborate this prediction and demonstrate a link between hypnotic suggestibility and proneness to anomalous perceptual states. However, such effects might be moderated by dissociative tendencies, which seem to account for heterogeneity in high hypnotic suggestibility. We tested the prediction that the prevalence of anomalous experiences would be greater among highly suggestible individuals who are also highly dissociative. Methods: We compared high and low dissociative highly suggestible participants and low suggestible controls on multiple psychometric measures of anomalous experiences. Results: High dissociative highly suggestible participants reliably reported greater anomalous experiences than low dissociative highly suggestible participants and low suggestible controls, who did not significantly differ from each other. Conclusions: These results suggest a greater predisposition to experience anomalous perceptual states among high dissociative highly suggestible individuals.

  • GABA Systems, Benzodiazepines, and Substance Dependence
    Robert J. Malcolm GABA Systems, Benzodiazepines, and Substance Dependence Robert J. Malcolm, M.D. Alterations in the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor complex and GABA neurotransmission influence the reinforcing and intoxicating effects of alcohol and benzodiazepines. Chronic modulation of the GABAA-benzodiazepine receptor complex plays a major role in central nervous system dysregulation during alcohol abstinence. Withdrawal symptoms stem in part from a decreased GABAergic inhibitory function and an increase in glutamatergic excitatory function. GABAA recep- tors play a role in both reward and withdrawal phenomena from alcohol and sedative-hypnotics. Although less well understood, GABAB receptor complexes appear to play a role in inhibition of moti- vation and diminish relapse potential to reinforcing drugs. Evidence suggests that long-term alcohol use and concomitant serial withdrawals permanently alter GABAergic function, down-regulate ben- zodiazepine binding sites, and in preclinical models lead to cell death. Benzodiazepines have substan- tial drawbacks in the treatment of substance use–related disorders that include interactions with alco- hol, rebound effects, alcohol priming, and the risk of supplanting alcohol dependency with addiction to both alcohol and benzodiazepines. Polysubstance-dependent individuals frequently self-medicate with benzodiazepines. Selective GABA agents with novel mechanisms of action have anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and reward inhibition profiles that have potential in treating substance use and with- drawal and enhancing relapse prevention with less liability than benzodiazepines. The GABAB receptor agonist baclofen has promise in relapse prevention in a number of substance dependence dis- orders. The GABAA and GABAB pump reuptake inhibitor tiagabine has potential for managing alcohol and sedative-hypnotic withdrawal and also possibly a role in relapse prevention.

  • Barriers and Solutions to Addressing Tobacco Dependence in Addiction Treatment Programs
    Barriers and Solutions to Addressing Tobacco Dependence in Addiction Treatment Programs Douglas M. Ziedonis, M.D., M.P.H.; Joseph Guydish, Ph.D., M.P.H.; Jill Williams, M.D.; Marc Steinberg, Ph.D.; and Jonathan Foulds, Ph.D. Despite the high prevalence of tobacco use among people with substance use disorders, tobacco dependence is often overlooked in addiction treatment programs. Several studies and a meta-analytic review have concluded that patients who receive tobacco dependence treatment during addiction treatment have better overall substance abuse treatment outcomes compared with those who do not. Barriers that contribute to the lack of attention given to this important problem include staff attitudes about and use of tobacco, lack of adequate staff training to address tobacco use, unfounded fears among treatment staff and administration regarding tobacco policies, and limited tobacco dependence treatment resources. Specific clinical-, program-, and system-level changes are recommended to fully address the problem of tobacco use among alcohol and other drug abuse patients.

  • Calcium Channel Blockers in Mental Health and Neuro Sciences
    Article NIMHANS Journal Editorial : Calcium Channel Blockers in Mental Health and Neuro Sciences Volume: 15 Issue: 01 January 1997 Page: 3-5 S M Channabasavanna, - Vice-Chancellor, NIMHANS, (Deemed University), Bangalore Calcium is a familiar ion; first year medical students learn of its physiological importance in a host of situations, such as in nutrition, in enzymatic reactions, in muscle contraction, and in the structure of bone. Calcium has long been known to also play an important role in the physiology of the nervous system, for example, it is well recognised that calcium is a co-factor in several enzymatic processes in the central nervous system (CNS), that release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles is calcium-dependent, that the stability of the neuronal membrane is partly regulated by calcium, that calcium is involved in neurotoxic processes etc. [1]. Several cognitive functions have been associated with calcium mechanisms. For example, the involvement of calcium is learning and memory processes is widely documented [2], [3]; most of the work to-date concerns calcium influx through receptors for excitatory amino acids [4]; compounds that block inonotropic glutamate receptors and inhibit calcium inflow, such as MK 801, are reported to impair memory [5], [6]. Voltage-dependent calcium channels, of which the best characterized are those that contain dihydropyridine binding sites, form a second mechanism controlling calcium inflow into the cells [7]. In recent years, these calcium channels in the neuron have assumed substantial importance; treatments affecting these channels have been shown to affect a number of functions related to the CNS. For example, repeated electroconvulsive shocks upregulate voltage dependent calcium channels, which effect appears to increase sensitivity to pain, enhance responsiveness to dopaminergic agonists etc [8], [9], [10].

The interest in complementary and alternative medicines for treating or preventing insomnia has increased recently. Centuries-old herbal treatments, popular for their safety and effectiveness, include valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, lavender, and Californian poppy. These herbal medicines have been shown to reduce sleep latency and increase subjective and objective measures of sleep quality. Research into their molecular components revealed that their sedative and sleep-promoting properties rely on interactions with various neurotransmitter systems in the brain. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a major role in controlling different vigilance states. GABA receptors are the targets of many pharmacological treatments for insomnia, such as benzodiazepines. Here, we perform a systematic analysis of studies assessing the mechanisms of action of various herbal medicines on different subtypes of GABA receptors in the context of sleep control.

(1) Gamma hydroxybutyric acid (also called G, Liquid X, Liquid Ecstasy, Grievous Bodily Harm, Georgia Home Boy, Scoop) has become a significant and growing problem in law enforcement. At least 20 States have sclieduled such drug in their drug laws and law enforcement officials have been experi­ encing an increased presence of the dinig in driving under the influence, sexual assault, and overdose cases especially at night clubs and parties. (2) A behavioral depressant and a hypnotic, gamma hydroxybutyric acid ("GHB") is being used in conjunction with alcohol and other drugs with detrimental effects in an increasing number of cases. It is difficult to isolate the impact of such drug's ingestion since it is so typically taken with an ever-changing array of other drugs £md especially alcohol which potentiates its impact. (3) GHB takes the same path as alcohol, processes via alcohol dehydrogenase, and its symptoms at high levels of intake and as impact builds are comparable to alcohol inges- i- tion/intoxication.
