“…If our motor system is able to perceive the reachability or nonreachability of an object (i.e., using a spatial alignment effect paradigm, when an object is effectively reachable, we have shorter reaction times; Costantini et al, 2010), then we could speculate that this factor may also modulate motor low-order CR. Future research should also focus on the modulation of CR phenomena by multisensory integration (Yalachkov, Kaiser, Görres, Seehaus, & Naumer, 2013); an fMRI study has indicated that both nicotine addicts and nonsmokers show visuo-haptic integration in the left lateral occipital complex for common daily objects, whereas only smokers show it during the presentation of smoking paraphernalia (Yalachkov, Kaiser, Görres, Seehaus, & Naumer, 2012). Taken together, these elements suggest that drug CR is a complex phenomenon that may be significantly modulated by both high-order and low-order mechanisms (Tiffany, 1990).…”

To understand others' minds is crucial for survival; however, it is quite puzzling how access to others' minds can be-to some extent-direct and not necessarily mediated by conceptual reasoning. Recent advances in neuroscience have led to hypothesize a role for motor circuits not only in controlling the elementary physical features of movement (e.g., force, direction, and amplitude), but also in understanding and shaping human behavior. The concept of Bmotor cognition^refers to these aspects, and neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and behavioral studies in human and nonhuman primates support this view. From a clinical perspective, motor cognition represents a challenge in several domains. A thorough investigation of the neural mechanisms mediating motor action/intention understanding and automatized/compulsive behaviors seems to be a promising way to tackle a range of neurodevelopmental and drug-related disorders. On the one hand, anomalies in motor cognition may have cascade effects on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); on the other, motor cognition may help explain the pathophysiology of drug-seeking and drug-taking behaviors in the most severe phase of drug addiction (i.e., see drug dependence, motor low-order cue reactivity). This may represent a promising approach that could improve the efficacy of rehabilitative interventions. The only way to shed light on multifactorial disorders such as ASD and drug addiction is through the investigation of their multiple factors. This motor way can promote new theoretical and experimental perspectives that would help bridge the gap between the basic neuroscience approach and clinical practice.

“…The three feelings may support the genesis of complex/abstract internal stimuli (two separate although parallel internal mental stimuli), which are organized into two distinct poles . In right‐handed men, recent data suggest these two poles consist of visual perception (visuo‐haptic convergence) and (abstract) sensation, while in left‐handed men the two poles would consist of visual sensation and abstract haptic perception . These complex/abstract internal mental stimuli (of hypothalamic input route) represent in our opinion a new target for future research that could provide a strong link between the fields of cognition and sexuality.…”

• Classically, external receptors of the body transmit information from the environment to the cerebral cortex via the thalamus. This review explains and argues that only concrete external information is transmitted from peripheral receptors to the cortex via a thalamic route, while abstract and sexual external information are actually transmitted from peripheral receptors to the cortex through a cognitive hypothalamic route.• Sexual function typically implies participation of two distinct partners, ensuring reproduction in many species including humans. Human sexual response involves participation of multiple (environmental, biological, psychological) kinds of stimuli and processing, so the understanding of sexual control and response supposes integration between the classical physiological mechanisms with the more complex processes of our 'mind' . • Cognition and sexuality are two relational functions, which are dependent on concrete (colours, sounds, etc.) and/or abstract (gestures, facial expression, how you move, the way you say something seemingly trivial, etc.) environmental cues. Abstract cues are encoded independent of the specific object features of the stimuli, suggesting that such cues should be transmitted and interpreted within the brain through a system different than the classical thalamo-cortical network that operates on concrete (material) information. Indeed, data show that the cerebral cortex is capable of interpreting two distinct (concrete and abstract) formats of information via distinct and non-compatible brain areas. We expand upon this abstract-concrete dichotomy of the brain, positing that the two distinct cortical networks should be uploaded with distinct information from the environment via two distinct informational input routes. These two routes would be represented by the two distinct routes of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), namely the classical/dorsal thalamic input route for concrete information and the ventral hypothalamic input route for abstract cognition and sexuality.• Physiologically, the hypothalamic (dual-autonomic) route of the ARAS that processes abstract and sexual information is incompatible with the thalamic (somatic) route of the ARAS that processes concrete information, such that the two distinct routes would be needed to support the mind processes (awareness, consciousness, sexuality) through their own informational inputs from the environment. Informationally, the concrete external data are differentiated from abstract and sexual external data, so that they should be transmitted to cortex through distinct input routes. Pathologically, the hardware and/or software impairments of the hypothalamic default-mode network generate disturbed messages within the brain (related to information transmitted on this route), laying at the basis of mental and sexual disorders.• The novel conceptualisations presented in the present paper help address issues surrounding the mind-brain dichotomy and, in doing so, suggest new possible avenues for exploration in t...

“…Conditioned reinforcers not only bridge delays to reinforcement, but they also facilitate the development of incentive habits and the subsequent development of compulsive drug seeking (Belin & Everitt, 2010; Belin et al ., 2013; Fouyssac et al ., 2022). The specific influence of conditioned reinforcers on motivational processes has been illustrated by the greater influence cues exert on behavior when presented as first-person visual perspective than third person visual perspective (Yalachkov et al ., 2012). Accordingly, we manipulated the visual perspective of each stimulus, which influenced in first instance the amplitude of the P100 in both ISH and NRS.…”

“…One important, often overlooked, property of many drug-paired CSs is that they are also response-produced, thereby acting as conditioned reinforcers, which support drug seeking habits over prolonged periods of time and contribute to the development of incentive habits (Olausson et al ., 2004; Belin & Everitt, 2010; Belin et al ., 2013; Fouyssac et al ., 2022). Drug-paired CSs are, therefore, often experienced from a first-person perspective by individuals with SUD actively engaged in their drug seeking habits, thereby fostering the integration of addiction-specific multisensorial representations (Yalachkov et al ., 2012). Accordingly, we manipulated how stimuli were presented in each picture, either from a first-person or a third-person perspective, which differentially recruit automatic embodiment (Canizales et al ., 2013) and sensorimotor activation (Canizales et al ., 2013; Galang et al ., 2020).…”

The rigid, stimulus-bound nature of drug seeking that characterizes Substance-use disorder (SUD) has been related to a dysregulation of motivational and early attentional reflexive and inhibitory reflective systems. However, the mechanisms by which these systems are engaged by drug-paired conditioned stimuli CSs) when they promote the enactment of seeking habits in individuals with a SUD have not been elucidated. The present study aimed behaviorally and electrophysiologically to characterize the nature of the interaction between the reflexive and reflective systems recruited by CSs in individuals with a smoking habit. For this, we measured the behavioral performance and associated ERPs of 20 individuals with a smoking habit and 20 controls, who never smoked regularly, in a modified Go/NoGo task during which smoking-related CSs, appetitive, and neutral pictures, presented either in first-person or as a third-person visual perspective were displayed 250 ms before the Go/NoGo cue. We show that smoking-related cues selectively influence early incentive motivation-related attentional bias (N2 after picture onset), motor readiness and behavioral inhibition (Go-P3, NoGo-P3 and Pc) of individuals with a smoking habit only when presented from a first-person perspective. These data together identify the neural signature of the aberrant engagement of the reflexive and reflective systems during the recruitment of an incentive habit by CSs presented as if they had been response-produced, i.e., as conditioned reinforcers.
