Effects of substance misuse on reward-processing in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
2021
Overview
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) often co-occur and are associated with treatment resistance. Both disorders are characterized by similar reward-processing deficits with decreased striatal responses to reward anticipation, though literature is inconsistent. It is unclear whether substance misuse exaggerates reward-processing deficits observed in ADHD. The aim of this study was to examine substance misuse effects on reward-processing in ADHD. Functional MRI data in a Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) task from a multi-site study were compared across ADHD groups with and without substance misuse (ADHD + SM and ADHD-only, respectively) and healthy controls (n = 40/group, 74 males and 46 females, aged 13.7–25.9 years). Substance misuse was defined as misuse of alcohol, nicotine, or drugs. Groups were matched with presence/absence of parental SUD to avoid interference with SUD trait effects. Compared to ADHD-only and controls, ADHD + SM showed hyperactivation in putamen during reward anticipation. Compared to controls, the ADHD groups showed hypoactivation in motor/sensory cortices and hyperactivation in frontal pole and OFC during reward outcome. ADHD + SM also showed hyperactivation in frontal pole during neutral outcome. Moreover, ADHD + SM patients showed higher callous-unemotional (CU) traits that were positively correlated with putamen responses to reward anticipation. Our results show distinct condition-independent neural activation profile for ADHD + SM compared to ADHD-only and controls. Effects of comorbid substance misuse and variability of its prevalence across ADHD studies might have contributed to inconsistencies in ADHD literature. Contrasted with findings for reward-processing in SUD literature, results potentially suggest distinct underlying mechanisms for SUD subgroups with different characteristics, like antisocial/psychopathic traits.
