Newlin's [Newlin D.B. Evolutionary game theory of tolerance and sensitization in substance abuse. Paper presented to the Research Society on Alcoholism, Hilton Head, SC, 1998] evolutionary game theory of addictive behavior specifies how evolutionarily stable strategies for survival and reproduction
Individuals with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) also commonly report symptoms of asthma, but, as far as we have been able to determine, no one has yet suggested that an abnormal cholinergic system may provide the link between asthma and MCS. The present brief review provides evidence for such a
BACKGROUND
A growing body of evidence suggests that idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI) is a psychophysiologic disorder with prominent features of anxiety/panic and somatization, although proponents of a toxicogenic explanation claim, despite a lack of convincing evidence, that symptoms arise
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a clinical phenomenon in which individuals, after acute or intermittent exposure to one or more chemicals, commonly organophosphate pesticides (OPs), become overly sensitive to a wide variety of chemically-unrelated compounds, which can include ethanol,
The fact that only some individuals exposed to environmental chemicals develop chemical intolerance raises the possibility that genetic factors could be contributing factors. The present communication summarizes evidence from a genetic animal model of cholinergic supersensitivity that suggests that
