The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie drug addiction. We will be looking at how the brain changes as a function of drug taking and how learning and genetics contribute to the development of addiction (both substance and behavioral addictions). We will look at both behavioral and substance addictions to understand how processes in the brain change after long term exposure to these types of external influences.
