Extracted from the Drug Abuse Handbook, 2nd edition, to give you
just the information you need at an affordable price.
Beginning with a detailed look at individual drugs and their
effects on the brain, Neurochemistry of Abused Drugs considers the
changes in neurotransmitter levels and discusses the relationship
of these changes to the nature and phenomenon of addiction. New
studies highlight the addictive capacity of nicotine as well as
introduce novel compounds that may aid in tobacco cessation.
Chapters examine nicotine dependant neuroplasticity and the various
neurochemical substrates that support and promote addiction
including cholinergic, dopaminergic, and GABAergic adaptations. The
book also offers detailed information on the neurochemical and
neurobehavioral consequences of MDMA, methamphetamine, and cocaine
use. Recent discoveries on the neurotransmitter systems involved in
each of these drugs reveal new therapeutic targets for alleviating
addiction including ibogaine, and GABA and glutamate receptors.
Extensively referenced and citing numerous up-to-date studies, this
book provides unparalleled insight into the action and potential
inhibition of drugs of abuse.
