Brain. 2011;134:969-78. With use of raclopride PET, dopamine release following ICD-related cues was measured in PD patients with and without ICDs/compulsive use of dopaminergic drugs. There were no baseline differences, but patients with pathologic behavior showed increased dopamine release following relevant cues. As in [39], the results were not consistent with the reward deficiency hypothesis, but would be very much in line with the sensitization hypothesis.

Biol Psychiatry. 2012;71:749-57. This study demonstrates once again that hypoactivation of ventral PFC regions during gambling scenarios is a hallmark of pathological gambling. Together with [91], it suggests that ICDs - similarly to substance abuse - are accompanied by impaired response inhibition and salience attribution that is mediated by dopamine dysregulation.

In this study, it was shown that dopamine agonists lead to ventral PFC deactivation only in those patients who developed ICDs while receiving dopaminergic drugs. Similarly to [54], this demonstrates that ICDs are characterized by impaired inhibitory control that is linked to dopamine dysregulation.
