- Synopsis
- A new understanding of the nature and progression of alcohol addiction is emerging: alcoholism as the result of an imbalance in the brain's natural production of neurotransmitters critical to our sense of well-being. This imbalance, which an increasing amount of evidence is demonstrating to be genetically influenced, produces a craving temporarily satisfied by drinking. "Alcohol and the Addictive Brain" is an account of the recent scientific discoveries concerning alcoholism.
