Basal Forebrain Involvement in Self-Administration of Drugs of Abuse

  • Chapter
Book cover The Basal Forebrain

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 295))

Abstract

There are a wide variety of chemical substances that have been classified as abused drugs on the basis of their excessive or inappropriate use. Although they may have distinct neurochemical actions and come from different pharmacological classes, what these drugs have in common is their capacity to engender pleasurable feelings or sensations in those individuals that use them. It is commonly believed that it is this property, their euphorigenic action, that causes their abuse.
