Alcohol cover

A current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction is detailed in our Neurobiology of Addiction series, each volume addressing a specific area of addiction. Alcohol, Volume 3 in the series, explores the molecular, cellular, and neurocircuitry systems in the brain responsible for alcohol addiction using the heuristic three-stage cycle framework of binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation.

"This book gives an extensive, detailed review of the current knowledge from the perspective of the three-stage-cycle framework. It looks at the neurocircuitry, cellular, and molecular neurobiological mechanisms of alcohol addiction related to three described states of alcohol addiction. This is a highly technical read but worth it for those interested in this area." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Michael Easton, MD,  reviewer, expert opinion
