The first book of its kind, this book offers a view on addiction neuroscience from a neural circuit perspective. It begins with a primer on circuit-based neuroscience that equips the reader with an understanding of the applications described throughout. Each subsequent chapter positions a different brain region at the "center" of addiction neurocircuitry and goes on to describe the anatomical connectivity of that brain region, how those circuits are affected by drug exposure, and the role of those circuits in controlling addiction-related behaviors.
