Addictive Substances and Neurological Disease: Alcohol, Tobacco,
Caffeine, and Drugs of Abuse in Everyday Lifestyles is a complete
guide to the manifold effects of addictive substances on the brain,
providing readers with the latest developing research on how these
substances are implicated in neurological development and
dysfunction. Cannabis, cocaine, and other illicit drugs can have
substantial negative effects on the structure and functioning of
the brain. However, other common habituating and addictive
substances often used as part of an individual's lifestyle, i.e.,
alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, painkillers can also compromise brain
health and effect or accentuate neurological disease. This book
provides broad coverage of the effects of addictive substances on
the brain, beginning with an overview of how the substances lead to
dysfunction before examining each substance in depth. It discusses
the pathology of addiction, the structural damage resulting from
abuse of various substances, and covers the neurobiological,
neurodegenerative, behavioral, and cognitive implications of use
across the lifespan, from prenatal exposure, to adolescence and old
age. This book aids researchers seeking an understanding of the
neurological changes that these substances induce, and is also
extremely useful for those seeking potential treatments and
therapies for individuals suffering from chronic abuse of these
substances.
