Review: Satisfying the urge of knowing addiction process - Satisfying step toward my urge for knowing process of addiction, changes happened in brain due to substance use. Book is more about brain structure, medical terms, brain anatomy which is helpful for people with non medical background for learning about addiction beyond social / behavioral causes. Interesting to know, there is different tendencies of addiction and dopamine release in female and male brains on substances use. Review: Very good book, definitely recommend for people that they just want to study it (beginners) and university students. It got me through very well within my assessment research and gave me an excellent understanding of addiction. I could easily say that this was one of my favourite books to read.

Addiction isn't "a new" thing. Since the effects of addiction can tear through time and ripple across generations, understanding addiction is critical. This book is not so much a "here's how to treat addictions," book, but a "here's what we know about why it happens" book. The author mentions different neural circuits in the brain, data for relapse rates for different addictions, genetic, sex, and age influences that can tilt the scales to make people more likely to become addicts. The author differentiates between sensation seeking and impulsivety, which is crucial to understand addictions.

I have often been disappointed at fine neuroscience texts having little or no content of addictions or severe mental illnesses. This book is a rare treatment of the biological sciences of addiction. It is complete, comprehensive and reasonably up to date. It would be fair to say there is more knowledge that just 20 years ago, but much to be discovered. I had to reread chapters. This is not a criticism. The chapters are short and meaty. My neuroscience knowledge is a bit stale as I discovered. A knowledge of basic neuroscience is helpful, but not necessary to learn from this book. A textbook for a course in the neuroscience of addiction, I only wish Francesca Filbey would do an on-line course at some point for those of us around the world who would benefit from it.
