Cognition and Addiction: A Researchers Guide from Mechanisms Towards Interventions

Cognition is central to addiction development and maintenance, such as inhibitory control determine vulnerability for addictive disorders. At the same time, substance use and behavioral addictions are associated with cognitive deficits such as mental inflexibility and reward-based decision-making. These cognitive alterations explain core symptoms of addiction including the persistence of behavior despite negative consequences, recurrent cravings, relapses and compromise treatment and recovery. Advances in cognitive neuroscience have extraordinarily expanded our knowledge of the cognitive underpinnings of addiction, giving rise to new integrative theories that have outshined prior rigid views. Cognitive neuroscience findings have also yielded new assessment and phenotyping approaches, and a new generation of therapies based on cognitive training and rehabilitation. Cognition and Addiction: From Mechanisms to Interventions provides researcher with a guide to the cognitive neuroscience advances in addiction theory, phenotyping, treatment and new vistas, including both substance and behavioral addictions. This text focuses on what to know? and how to apply? information, prioritizing the discussion of novel principles and delineation of cutting-edge assessment, phenotyping and treatment tools. Written by world renowned researcher Antonio Verdejo-Garcia, this text will become a go-to guide for researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience and addiction.
