Neural Mechanisms of Addiction is the only book available that synthesizes the latest research in the field into a single, accessible resource covering all aspects of how addiction develops and persists in the brain. The book summarizes our most recent understanding on the neural mechanisms underlying addiction. It also examines numerous biobehavioral aspects of addiction disorders, such as reinforcement learning, reward, cognitive dysfunction, stress, and sleep and circadian rhythms that are not covered in any other publication. Readers with find the most up-to-date information on which to build a foundation for their future research in this expanding field.
Combining chapters from leading researchers and thought leaders, this book is an indispensable guide for students and investigators engaged in addiction research.
- Transcends multiple neural, neurochemical and behavioral domains
- Summarizes advances in the field of addiction research since the advent of optogenetics
- Discusses the most current, leading theories of addiction, including molecular mechanisms and dopamine mechanisms
