Drs. W.G. Stooksbury and H.T. Millen will present a talk about their work entitled, “Substance Use Disorders and Addiction:\u00a0 Neurobiological Mechanisms and Treatment Implications”<\/p>\n
The Abstract is as follows:<\/p>\n
Addiction and substance use disorders are chronic and relapsing conditions characterized by compulsions to seek a substance, loss of impulse control to limit intake resulting in increasing use, and negative affective states when access to the substance is unavailable. Substance use is a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity world-wide. Despite the initial report released by the Surgeon General in 1964 regarding smoking and tobacco use, nicotine continues to be a significant public health risk. In this discussion, we will cover the current theories regarding the neurobiological mechanisms behind addiction with a focus on tobacco use disorder.\u00a0 We will explore current FDA approved pharmacotherapies, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and emerging treatment options, examining how their mechanisms of action modulate addiction pathways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
