Report
"...an important contribution for addiction neurobiologists and those involved in drug screening/development...presents material that those in the addiction field, especially physicians, should be aware of in order to have a better understanding of addiction neurobiology and the rationales for various pharmacological interventions being used or evaluated. Score: 98 - 5 Stars!" --Doody's
