Understanding the Neurobiology of Addiction: From Brain Circuits to Genetic Vulnerability

Image
The World Neurology Congress 2026 is pleased to feature a compelling presentation on the Neurobiology of Addiction , exploring the complex biological, psychological, and social mechanisms that drive substance use disorders and addictive behaviors. Why Addiction is More Than a Choice Addiction is now recognized as a chronic relapsing brain disease rather than simply a consequence of poor decision-making. Long-term exposure to addictive substances alters brain function, particularly within the dopamine reward pathways, leading to dependence, tolerance, craving, and loss of behavioral control. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. Presenter: Meera Vaswani  All India Institute of Medical Sciences, India Presentation Highlights 🧠 The Science Behind Addiction Addiction results from long-term changes in brain reward circuits. The dopamine system plays a central role in reinforcing addictive behaviors. Repeated substance...
