Introduction to Addiction, Volume One in the series, introduces the reader to the study of neurobiology of addiction by clearly defining addiction and its neuroadaptational views. This volume includes thorough descriptions of the various animal models applicable to the study of addiction, including Animal Models of the Binge-Intoxication Stage of the Addiction Cycle and Animal Models of Vulnerability to Addiction. The book's authors also include a section on numerous neurobiological theories that aid in the understanding of addiction, including dopamine, prefrontal cortex and relapse.
A current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction is detailed in our Neurobiology of Addiction series, each volume addressing a specific area of addiction. Opioids, Volume 4 in the series, explores the molecular, cellular and systems in the brain responsible for opioid addiction using the heuristic three-stage cycle framework of binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation.
Neurobiology of Addiction is 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.
A current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction is detailed in our Neurobiology of Addiction series, each volume addressing a specific area of addiction. Alcohol, Volume 3 in the series, explores the molecular, cellular, and neurocircuitry systems in the brain responsible for alcohol addiction using the heuristic three-stage cycle framework of binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation.
"Drugs, Addiction, and the Brain" explores the molecular,
cellular, and neurocircuitry systems in the brain that are
responsible for drug addiction. Common neurobiological elements are
emphasized that provide novel insights into how the brain mediates
the acute rewarding effects of drugs of abuse and how it changes
during the transition from initial drug use to compulsive drug use
and addiction. The book provides a detailed overview of the
pathophysiology of the disease. The information provided will be
useful for neuroscientists in the field of addiction, drug abuse
treatment providers, and undergraduate and postgraduate students
who are interested in learning the diverse effects of drugs of
abuse on the brain.
A current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction are detailed in our Neurobiology of Addiction series, each volume addressing a specific area of addiction. Psychostimulants, Volume 2 in the series, explores the molecular and cellular systems in the brain responsible for psychostimulant addiction, including both direct/indirect sympathomimetics and nonsympathomimetics. This volume introduces the readers to the history of psychostimulant use. The authors clearly differentiate the neurobiological effects into three distinct stages of the addiction cycle: binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation.
