The volume is a multidisciplinary collection of the latest research in addiction. The chapters cover the neurobiological, pathological, cognitive and evolutionary aspects of addiction from leading researchers in the field from North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The chapters redefine and scrutinize the origin and development of the addictive behaviours in humans and animal models. This volume covers addiction research from the bottom up; from how addiction evolved, to basic research on animal models of the neurobiological mechanisms of the disorder, to the effects of substance use on primate cognition to the psychiatric, psychological and cognitive characteristics of addictive behaviours in humans. These are novel concepts from molecular to behavioural research in both preclinical and clinical domains.
