Initially confined to behavioral studies, the field of drug addiction and substance abuse has broadened dramatically to include a vast array of cellular and molecular approaches as well as sophisticated electrophysiological and neurochemical methodologies. Methods of Drug Abuse Research: Cellular and Circuit Level Analyses assembles the information about systems level approaches in one volume, providing detailed descriptions of procedures as well as methods and equipment used in experiments that, in many cases, combine multiple technical approaches. It presents state-of-the-art technical information and critical reviews of the experimental strategies used to dissect the problem of compulsive drug use and addiction at the systems or whole brain level.
