Neurochemical Basis of Addiction and Substance Use Disorders

Addiction involves complex neurochemical alterations within reward, motivation, and stress pathways. Dysregulation of dopamine, glutamate, and opioid systems contributes to compulsive substance-seeking behavior and relapse vulnerability. Chronic exposure to addictive substances induces long-lasting changes in synaptic plasticity and neural circuitry. Advances in molecular neuroscience reveal how genetic predisposition, environmental stressors, and neurochemical imbalances interact to influence addiction risk. Novel pharmacotherapies aim to normalize neurotransmitter function and reduce craving. Behavioral interventions combined with neurobiological insights support comprehensive treatment models. Understanding the neurochemical mechanisms underlying addiction enhances prevention strategies and improves therapeutic outcomes.
