Treatment-induced compulsive behaviours: Ethical and policy implications

强迫行为是社会上最大的可预防负担之一。一些药物，比如用于治疗帕金森氏症的药物，会在某些人身上产生严重的强迫行为，类似于成瘾。这个项目将探讨：由这些药物引起的神经认知变化；药物诱导的强迫行为对受影响个体的影响，他们的能动性、认同感和道德责任感；以及毒品引发行为的道德、法律和政策后果。这个项目将帮助我们理解强迫行为的神经心理学，并减少其发生。它还将使社会能够应对神经科学对强迫行为的研究所带来的伦理和政策挑战。

Compulsive behaviours represent one of the largest preventable burdens in society. Some medications, such as those used to treat Parkinson's disease, can produce severe compulsions in certain individuals, which are akin to addiction. This project will explore: neurocognitive changes caused by these medications; the impact that drug-induced compulsive behaviours have on affected individuals, their sense of agency, identity and moral responsibility; and the ethical, legal and policy consequences of drug-induced behaviour. This project will help us to understand the neuropsychology of compulsive behaviour and reduce its occurrence. It will also enable society to meet the ethical and policy challenges raised by neuroscience research on compulsive behaviour.
