This could lead to disorders known as anorexia and bulimia, which have a common factor, converting food into the force that controls their lives.
Today one can speak of food addiction, which showed the uncontrolled consumption of food, which would be accompanied by withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and irritability when they stop drinking.
In the brain there are common pathways that are responsible for the sensation of pleasure derived from consumption of substances such as food and drugs, as well as behaviors such as sex , gymnastics, video games or internet.
Referring exclusively to the food, we have repeated and excessive consumption of sugar may raise brain receptors for dopamine , a substance produced in the brain when we experience pleasure, similar to what happens to drug abuse. Studies in people with neuroimaging techniques, can see images of the structure and functioning of the brain and indicate that there are similarities between the physiological response that occurs in anticipation of a tasty meal and drug abuse and that dopamine is released in the same brain regions.
Clinically, there is an intense desire to consume food or particular food type and it is difficult resist. Finally comes the "binge" during which there total loss of control and consume large quantities of food in a very short period of time, then comes a period of guilt and repentance, usually occur purging such as induced vomiting, eating, laxatives or do excessive physical exercise .

psychoactive substances activate the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway, but each does so through different mechanisms.
The mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway is located in an area of \u200b\u200bthe brain known and midbrain and is the most involved in the ability of dependence-producing psychoactive substances.
The cell bodies of these neurons send projections to brain regions involved in emotion, thought, memory and planning and execution of behaviors.
The nucleus accumbens is an important brain area that is involved in motivation and learning and in pointing the motivational value of stimuli. Psychoactive substances increase the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and believes this is an important event in the reinforcement.
has been shown that the path mesolimbic dopamine is heavily involved in motivational processes, which means that the brain attaches particular importance to stimuli recognized as important for survival.
The motivation is the allocation of attentional and behavioral stimuli according to their predicted consequences.
Incentives are stimuli that elicit a response based on their predicted consequences. In
dependence, psychoactive substances repeatedly activate the motivational systems of the brain that are normally activated by stimuli important as food, water, danger, and the couple. With
Chronic use of marijuana is described the "syndrome amotivational" where the person loses ineteres for life.
Neurobiology of Addictions, Learning and Behavioral Neurobiology and Behavior
The development of dependence can be considered as part of a learning process in the sense that the interactions between psychoactive substances and environments associated with them produce lasting behavioral changes.
stimuli associated with food, water and the couple, they activate specific pathways and reinforce behaviors that lead to achieving the respective goals.
Psychoactive drugs artificially activate these same pathways, but very intense, leading to increased motivation to continue with this behavior.
Thus, the dependence is the result of a complex interplay of physiological effects of substances on brain areas associated with pleasure, motivation and emotion, combined with learning about the relationship between substances and related signals them.
The brain is tricked by substances that can get you to respond as if these stimuli and were biologically related to them necessary.
As exposure is repeated, the association is becoming stronger and produces a behavioral and neurochemical response growing. This is known as sensitization the incentive, and consists in the fact that psychoactive substances and stimuli associated with their consumption, for example where consumed, the people consumed, the music you hear when conume, are increasingly more motivational and behavioral .
Through associative learning processes, motivation to consume drugs may be strongly activated by stimuli (environments, people, objects) from the use of the substance, causing the intense desire that can beat the person and have re- take the substance, even after long periods of abstinence.
Men and women seem to need to be looked at and approved by the other: either at home, at work, with friends, on TV, no matter where the body is always the main protagonist.
