DESCRIPTION:David Belin\, Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute\
 , Department of Psychology\, University of Cambridge\, UK\nIt has long bee
 n suggested that failure appropriately to inhibit impulses stems from a de
 ficit in prefrontal cortical inhibitory function. Here it will be suggeste
 d that impulsivity\, which predicts the vulnerability to develop addiction
  to stimulant drugs as well as compulsive behaviours as observed in Obsess
 ive Compulsive Disorder and early onset Parkinson’s Disease\, also stems
  from an exacerbated sensitivity to the interoceptive component of the urg
 e. This is in marked contrast with compulsivity\, which will be argued to 
 depend on an inability appropriately to identify the emotional nature of t
 he interoceptive component of the urge. Impulsivity and compulsivity are b
 oth associated both with alterations in corticostriatal circuits\, especia
 lly the insular cortex\, and noradrenergic mechanisms in the ventral stria
 tum which may represent a neural switch from impulsive to compulsive behav
 iours.\n
