Thesis Abstract

This project aims to analyze the biochemical basis of drug addiction, focusing on the neurochemical changes that occur in the brain as a result of chronic drug use. Drug addiction is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive drug-seeking behavior and loss of control over drug intake. This research will involve studying the effects of drugs on neurotransmitter systems, the mechanisms of drug tolerance and withdrawal, and the neuroadaptations that contribute to addiction. Additionally, the project will explore potential therapeutic interventions targeting the biochemical pathways involved in addiction. By understanding the biochemical basis of drug addiction, this research will contribute to our knowledge of addiction mechanisms and aid in the development of effective treatment strategies.
