Homme de la Renaissance, Pascasius décrit, comme médecin et philosophe, la passion qui anime le joueur pathologique, la perte de liberté dont il souffre et les raisons pour lesquelles il s'enferre dans la dépendance, tout en accompagnant son analyse de remèdes libératoires. Sa conception de la trajectoire addictive est proche de notre sensibilité contemporaine, dans son raisonnement comme dans ses applications cliniques. La découverte de son texte permet ainsi de confirmer que les jeux d'argent et de hasard sont une des sources les plus anciennes de ce que nous appelons aujourd'hui « dépendance ». Traduire et publier un texte médical datant de 1561 et rédigé en latin semblera peut-être étrange à certains, mais l'attrait de ce texte paraîtra toutefois évident à tous les lecteurs intéressés par le phénomène des conduites de dépendance. On peut même aller jusqu'à affirmer que le Traité sur le jeu de Pascasius marque le nouvel acte de naissance des maladies addictives.

Addiction by Design Takes readers into the world of machine gambling, a form of play that blurs the line between human and machine, and risk and reward. This title shows how the mechanical rhythm of electronic gambling pulls players into a trancelike state they call the machine zone, in which daily worries, social demands, and even bodily awareness fade away.

Part story, part game, this is a book with a difference - one in which the reader becomes the protagonist. Inspired by Marcel Proust's 'In search of lost time' and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 'The gambler', the action is set in a hotel casino on the coast of Normandy. 'The wheel of fortune' recovers the 'Choose your own adventure' gamebook - very popular in the early 1990s, right before the advent of the Internet. You, the reader, are responsible for the protagonist's vicissitudes. The narrative changes according to your decisions, the actions you carry out and your interaction with other characters inside the book. Sometimes you will need to try your luck to decide on different situations and to play the games that are offered in the story, like French roulette and ... Russian roulette. Death, chance, desire and arcane knowledge will unfold as you explore the multiple narrative paths and the unknown that lies ahead.

Although pathological gambling is a prevalent disease, its neurobiological and psychological underpinnings are not well characterized. Various lines of research suggest aberrant dopaminergic function may lead to pathological gambling. For example, human imaging studies have revealed dopaminergic activation coinciding with the performance of gambling-related tasks. Furthermore, dopamine D2-type receptor deficiency facilitates gambling behaviors and dopamine receptor agonist treatments for Parkinson’s disease have been shown to increase patient vulnerability to gambling. Pathological gambling is often co-morbid with drug addictions, and exposure to drugs of abuse has been shown to enhance motivation to gamble. The activation of midbrain dopamine neurons, as well as their terminal projection fields, is involved with the development and maintenance of various addictions. Importantly, recent articles have demonstrated that repeated exposure to conditions of gambling-like uncertain reinforcement lead to enhanced drive to seek reward, potentially through increasing the incentive motivational value of conditioned cues. Signaling molecules other than dopamine may also influence reward-seeking behaviors in pathological gamblers. For example, stress-related alterations in glucocorticoid signaling may effect decision making and influence gambling behavior. Together, these findings suggest common pathways exist that mediate gambling, drug dependence, stress, and movement disorders, and that cross-reactivity between these ailments may potentiate disease symptomology. The goal of this Research Topic is to further our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the development of pathological gambling.
