Description
Addiction Genetics explores the genetic and molecular underpinnings of addictive behaviors. With its core focus on biology, the journal delves into genetic predispositions, epigenetic modifications, and gene-environment interactions that contribute to substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and related psychiatric disorders. Featuring cutting-edge research, this publication offers critical insights into the biological mechanisms driving addiction, making it a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians. Key topics include genome-wide association studies (GWAS), candidate gene studies, and translational research aimed at identifying potential therapeutic targets. Addiction Genetics also explores the role of neurotransmitter systems, reward pathways, and neural circuitry in addiction. It is indexed in prominent scientific databases, targeting geneticists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and addiction specialists seeking to unravel the complexities of addiction at the molecular level. By promoting a deeper understanding of the genetic factors involved in addiction, Addiction Genetics strives to facilitate the development of personalized prevention and treatment strategies. The journal encourages researchers to contribute their findings, advancing the field and ultimately improving outcomes for individuals and families affected by addiction, paving the way for potential treatments.
