Reviews
'Francesca Filbey's book, intended for an interdisciplinary audience, bridges concepts in neuroscience with the clinical presentation of addiction. It is logically organized into chapters that describe each progressive stage of the addiction cycle in terms of theoretical perspectives, preclinical models, and human behavior. The text combines classic knowledge with current findings from novel methodologies, particularly in human neuroimaging, that facilitates the understanding of addiction as a brain disorder.' Eric J. Nestler, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
'The Neuroscience of Addiction provides an outstanding synthesis of the current state of knowledge about the stages of addiction along with a review and explanation of the research that led to current concepts in the field. It is an excellent text for neuroscience students entering the field.' Edythe D. London, Brain Research Institute, University of California, Los Angeles
