Neuroscience and genetic research on addiction continues to make
significant progress toward understanding the changes in the brain that
underlie drug use and behaviors. The research has the potential to
significantly affect both the way in which we think about addiction, and
those that suffer from it. Addictive drugs have habit-forming actions
that can be localized to a variety of brain regions that can activate
the reward circuitry in the brain. This training will explore the
neurobiological basis of addiction and how addictive drugs produce
neurochemical changes in the brain’s reward pathway. It will also
explore new technologies for treatment and prevention based on brain
science.
