November 2005 - Vol 8 No 11 Nature Neuroscience 8 (2005)
| | |  | Addiction is pervasive, affecting millions of people around the world. The progression from recreational drug use to drug dependence and addiction is influenced by many factors, including the nature of the drug, the personality of the user, and environmental stressors. In this issue, we present reviews and opinion pieces on the neurobiology of drug abuse, decision making and habit formation, as well as a commentary on how the neuroscience of addiction should guide public policy and treatment. This special focus is sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. (pp 1427-1489)
