Meer oor hierdie e-boek

Addiction Genetics explores the intricate relationship between our genes and the environment in the development of substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. The book emphasizes that addiction is not simply a matter of willpower, but a complex, heritable condition influenced by numerous genes. One intriguing fact highlighted is how genetic variations can affect how individuals respond to drug treatments, paving the way for personalized medicine in addiction therapy. The text adopts an accessible tone, making complex genetic information understandable to a broad audience interested in biology, psychology, and life sciences.

Beginning with foundational knowledge in genetics and neuroscience, the book progresses to outline genetic risk factors for various addictions, including alcohol, opioids, and gambling. It delves into how genes interact with environmental factors, such as early life experiences, to either amplify or mitigate addiction risk. Furthermore, the text examines pharmacogenomics, or how genetic variations influence drug metabolism, offering insights into how this knowledge can inform personalized treatment decisions. This comprehensive approach provides a nuanced understanding of addiction etiology.
