How addiction hijacks the brain: what animal models can tell us about the neurobiology of drugs of abuse

Research using animal models has begun to shed light on how drugs of abuse and addiction impact brain and behavior. But what can these models tell us about the mechanisms of addiction in humans, and what is the current state of the science regarding clinical support for drug use disorders? Join the CNLM Ambassadors for a…
