Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Substance dependence and the misuse of psychoactive substances represent one of the most harmful health problems worldwide. The understanding of addiction and the future of treatment are changing as the methods we use to study this problem evolve. Addiction is harmful to substance users, their families, and their communities. The effects of substance use disorders contribute to physical, mental, and public health problems. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the diversity and gaps in knowledge regarding research on the effects of the abuse of and dependency on tobacco, alcohol, and other substances. Potential topics include but are not limited to tobacco, alcohol, addiction, drug abuse, human genetics, gene expression, bioinformatics, neuroscience, and public health.
