Editorial Reviews

Review

"In an impressive and weighty new work, Koob and LeMoal assimilate several thousand references to provide a state-of-the-science proclamation of this progress, while setting our sights for its crucial next phases. ...The Neurobiology of Addiction is a thought provoking tour de force. I expect it to become an instant classic and for future editions to gauge our progress in this exciting and compelling field."
--Trevor Robbins, Department of Experimental Psychology at the Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute, University of Cambridge in NATURE NEUROSCIENCE (August 2006; Vol 9:8)


Book Description

4.0 out of 5 stars Neuroboilogy of Addiction, April 23, 2008
By Phillip H. Maguire "Horror Fan Man" (Middletown, Pa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is an excellent review of the current understanding of the brain systems and chemistry involved with addiction. A knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurochemistry as well as genetics is presumed.
