BRAIN & MIND MAGAZINE (http://www.epub.org.br/cm)
New Issue: Special Articles on the Brain, Drugs of Abuse and the
Reward System
The January/March issue of Brain & Mind Magazine
explains the functions of the brain reward and pleasure systems,
and how these important and complex part of our brain is involved
in normal and abnormal behaviors, such as drug abuse and the reward
defficiency syndrome.
By using innovative computer-generated animations, you will be able
to understand how cocaine and alcohol act upon the neuron's synapses,
causing pleasure and chemical dependence. In addition, you will be
able to watch videoclips recorded in research laboratories, showing
rats addicted to morphine, or who are willing to tolerate violent
electric shocks on their feet simply to deliver self-stimulation on
the brain's pleasure centers.
You will not want to miss this issue!
We wait for your comments.
