| book description |

Humans are biologically programmed to seek out pleasurable experiences.Â These experiencesÂ are processedÂ in theÂ mesolimbic system, also referred to as theÂ ""reward center"" of the brain, where a number of chemical messengers work in concert to provide a net release of dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens.Â Â In some genetically predisposed individuals, addiction occurs when the mechanisms of the mesolimbic system are disrupted by the use of variousÂ drugs of abuse. Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, it's 12 step program of spiritual and character development has helped countless alcoholics and drug addictsÂ curb their self-destructive behaviors.Â However, theÂ program was developed at a time whenÂ comparatively little was known about the function of the brain andÂ it hasÂ never been studied scientifically.Â This is the first book to take a systematic look at the molecular neurobiology associated with each of the 12 steps and to review the significant body of addiction research literature that is pertinent to the program.â€‹
