Neurocircuitry of Addiction focuses on common neural circuits that underly the effects of addictive substances, providing a more holistic view of how these agents produce their effects. This book is organized by brain circuits and their role in addiction, including ventral tegmental area (VTA) circuits, striatal circuits, prefrontal cortical (PFC) circuits, extended amygdala circuits, neuroendocrine circuits, and circadian circuits. It includes a foreword by renowned experts Dr. George Koob (Director of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism ) and Dr. Nora Volkow (the Director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse).According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services of America, approximately, 21 million Americans are addicted to at least one substance, and about 20% of Americans who have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder also have substance use disorder.

Covers multiple areas of brain systems, including habenula, insula and cerebellum
Reviews the innovative tools needed to investigate neural circuits
Identifies how drugs affect neurons and neural circuits
Includes both human and animal models

-About the Editor-

Nicholas Gilpin
Dr Nicholas Gilpin completed his undergraduate training in Psychology at University of Texas at Austin, and his Ph.D. in Psychobiology at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. During graduate training, he worked with genetic models of susceptibility to alcoholism. He went on to complete a post-doctoral fellowship in the labs of Drs. George Koob and Marisa Roberto at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA, where he used behavioral pharmacology & electrophysiology techniques to explore neural and behavioral dysregulation associated with alcohol dependence. He remains interested in questions of addiction, and is especially interested in understanding why and how alcohol addiction is co-morbid with addiction to other drugs and other psychiatric conditions. His interests also include questions related to subpopulations of addicts and individual differences in propensity to consume alcohol and drugs.
