• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Recent scientific advances have provided substantial information on the brain circuits and pathways relevant to various aspects of dependence. Neurobiology of Alcohol Dependence highlights the most recent data at the molecular, cellular, neurocircuitry, and behavioral levels, fostering an understanding how neuroplasticity and neuroadaptation occur, and how different neural pathways and neurocircuits contribute to dependence.

• Highlights recent advances in understanding alcohol addiction from molecular, cellular, neurocircuitry, and behavioral levels
• Integrates several emerging areas of research and discusses the application of novel research techniques to the understanding of alcohol dependence
• Chapters authored by leaders in the field around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage available
