Behavioral neurobiology of alcohol addiction

Behavioral neurobiology of alcohol addiction / Wolfgang H. Sommer, Rainer Spanagel, editors.

The question of how alcohol alters mood states and why this may end up becoming an addiction has puzzled alcohol researchers for decades. In this volume, a group of highly distinguished experts and leaders in alcohol addiction research presents our current state of knowledge and remaining research c...
