_The Opioid System as the Brain’s Interface between Cognition and
Motivation, Volume 239, _focuses on the opioid system as the interface
between the brain’s cognitive and motivational systems. As the
opioid system is widely distributed through the brain, particularly in
areas implicated in cognition (hippocampus, prefrontal cortex,
claustrum, thalamus) and motivation (hypothalamus, amygdala, pontine
nuclei, periaqueductal gray and medulla), this book provides chapters
that address ongoing research on topics such as the Brain’s
cognitive system, the Brain’s motivational system, Antidepressant
prescription patterns, Antidepressant-like effects of opioid receptor
modulators, the Behavioral effects of antidepressant and anxiolytic
drugs, and more.
* Contains contributions from both academia and industry to maximize
the cross-fertilization of differing perspectives on opioid system
function in health and disease
* Studies the opioid system as the interface between the brain’s
cognitive and motivational systems
