This excellent book is a concise yet thorough examination of the
important and emerging field of the study of biological risk
factors in drug abuse. Historically, drug abuse research has
concentrated on the contributions of environmental and behavioral
factors as the major influences on addiction. The revelatory
studies in this volume examine the genetic contributions to drug
taking behavior through the use of animal models, cellular
experiments and human clinical studies. Behavioral and Biochemical
Issues in Substance Abuse provides for the first time in one
volume, up-to-date, easily digested reviews of topics concerning
biological and genetic factors in drug abuse. Medical researchers
in all areas of alcoholism and drug abuse, researchers in
pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry and neuroscience, and
clinicians interested in biological approaches to alcoholism and
drug abuse problems will benefit greatly from this valuable
resource. Authoritative contributors clearly demonstrate the
capability of genetic factors to modulate the reinforcing or
rewarding effects of drugs, thereby altering their addictive
potential. In addition to gaining comprehension of the biological
factors affecting addiction, a greater understanding of genetics
related to drug abuse will enable future research to control
biological factors, leading to more accurate studies of behavioral
and environmental influences on drug and alcohol abuse.
