Neurobiological research includes studies at a number of levels. These include the study of molecular and cellular components that explain how drugs act on the brain and produce neurochemical changes inside and between neurons. Neurobiology also includes studies of hereditary bases of behaviour that can predispose some to develop certain addictive behaviours and also involves the study of how these molecular and cellular mechanisms can lead to changes in the structure and function of important neural circuits in the brain that produce changes in cognition and behaviour characteristic of addiction.
