Drugs, Addiction, and the Brain 1st Edition

Written to be a graduate level text but very readable just to learn more about the topic outside of a formal university course. Covers the subject topic thoroughly with clear, understandable figures and tables. Recommend for any serious student of addiction science.

I refer to this constantly.

Got this as a supplemental text for a class and really got more use out of this book than the required text. I

Thank you!!!

Koob has presented what I consider the best text on this subject. Technical, to be sure, but if a solid scientific overview is what you're after this is it.

I am very frustrated about the lack of true in-text citations. Makes it very hard to use as a resource for finding primary literature when writing a research paper or grant proposal--you need to be able to tell where the specific findings came from in order to use the info in a paper! This is very frustrating because the older version of this book (titled "Neurobiology of Addiction", from 2006) had a ton of excellent in-text citations, and they removed them from this version.
