Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Conceived as a current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our
understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction over the past 50 years.
The book includes a scholarly introduction, thorough descriptions of animal models
of addiction, and separate chapters on the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction
for psychostimulants, opioids, alcohol, nicotine and cannabinoids. Key information
is provided about the history, sources, and pharmacokinetics and psychopathology of
addiction of each drug class, as well as the behavioral and neurobiological mechanism
of action for each drug class at the molecular, cellular and neurocircuitry level
of analysis. A chapter on neuroimaging and drug addiction provides a synthesis of
exciting new data from neuroimaging in human addicts a unique perspective unavailable
from animal studies. The final chapters explore theories of addiction at the neurobiological
and neuroadaptational level both from a historical and integrative perspective
