Overview

The new edition of this popular book provides detailed coverage of the role played by the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of emotional processes with particular emphasis on the modulation of memory and reward for emotionally arousing events and for the regulation of motivational aspects in cannabis use.  While there have been unprecedented advances in the understanding of the role of endocannabinoids in the regulation of the emotional brain over the past several years, Endocannabinoid Modulation of Emotion, Memory, and Motivation, 2nd edition is the only book that provides comprehensive coverage of all these aspects.The book is organized into three sections. Part I focuses on the modulation of memory and emotions by cannabinoids, featuring the underlying neurobiology and emphasizing their effects on fear, anxiety, and depression. Part II is centered on reward and motivation; it discusses subjective, cognitive, and social effects of cannabinoids and their impact on the motivational brain system. Interactions of cannabinoids with other drugs of abuse such as nicotine, alcohol, opioids, and methamphetamine are illustrated in Part III.  The new edition features extensively updated chapters throughout along with new coverage of cannabinoid and serotonin interactions.
