Drugs of Abuse and Neurobiology (Physiology of Substance Abuse)

By Ronald Ross Watson

Drugs of Abuse and Neurobiology is the first volume in a series dealing with the effects of drugs of abuse on various systems. The neurobiology and neurochemistry of such high-profile drugs as benzodiazepine, nicotine, PCP, and amphetamines are examined, and aspects such as drug-induced euphoria, sensorimotor integration, pharmacodynamics of addiction, and other neurologic sequalae are considered. Collectively, the volume offers a definitive and authoritative review of current research in the field. Drugs of Abuse and Neurobiology will be a useful addition to the bookshelves of researchers, clinicians, and students studying the complex changes caused by the direct and indirect effect of single drugs at the cellular level.
