Drugs of Abuse: Pharmacology and Molecular Mechanisms introduces the basic principles of pharmacology and neuroscience of drug abuse. Understanding the chemistry of commonly abused drugs and their impact on brain function will provide students and researchers with a more profound understanding of the molecular basis of drug abuse and addiction. Drugs of Abuse: Pharmacology and Molecular Mechanisms opens with a brief history of drug use and abuse. Subsequent sections look at specific families of drugs, including stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens among others, and explore how their chemical make-up interacts with brain function. The final chapter provides a brief overview of clinical substance abuse treatment. -- PublisherCentral nervous system stimulantsDrugs of abusePhysiological effectSubstance abuseTreatmentElectronic books.Central nervous system stimulants.Drugs of abusePhysiological effect.Substance abuseTreatment.362.29Howard Sherrel G893026Kuhns Matt875811MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463724703321Drugs of abuse1994645UNINA
