Abstract :
Drug addiction is defined by an
uncontrollable and persistent desire to seek and consume
the drug. Due to developments in the understanding of
mechanisms involved as well as the need for more
precision in definition, drug nomenclature has developed
over time. Drug addiction is caused by how drugs of
consumption interact with each individual's
neurobehavioral constitution, as well as their
pharmacological consequences. The study of the neural
molecular mechanisms addiction processes allows for a
better understanding of current pharmacotherapy as
well as the development of novel drug misuse and
dependency treatment options. In this work, we want to
present recent ideas about abuse and addiction.
