Research shows that the neuropathological features of one addiction are often applicable to those of others, and
understanding these commonalties provides a platform for studying specific addictions in more depth and may
ultimately lead researchers toward new modes of understanding, causation, prevention, and treatment. However,
marshalling data on the complex relationships between addictions is difficult due to the myriad material and
substances.

Introduction

Neuropathology of Drug Addictions and Substance Misuse, Volume 2, is an important contribution to understanding
the adverse consequences of the most common drugs of abuse. Edited by Victor R. Preedy, this second volume in
the series focuses on stimulants, club and dissociative drugs, hallucinogens, steroids, inhalants, and

effects of these substances, helping readers understand the molecular, cellular, and structural aspects of drug
addiction.
