The Addicted Brain

Very informative, though I would recommend getting a little background on how the brain works in general, it will help you get more out of this course.

Concise and very informative for all those who want to understand this epidemic health issue called addiction.

excellent course I found it very informative :- This course was particularly helpful and explanatory to someone like me, who has little knowledge of the processes of substances in the human brain and the effects of drugs in general.

Very informative.

This is an interesting course for anyone who wants to understand drug addiction on many levels, physiological, psychological and societal.

The main focus of the course is the effect of drug addiction on the brain, but prior knowledge of neurology is not required.

I had very lIttleI learned a great deal about the mechanisms involved in drug addiction , drug policy, and risk and protective factors.

It will definitely help me with the course I teach to 10th graders with a unit regarding drug addiction.

A general introductory course on the biological basis of drug addiction.

At the same time, the lectures raise thought-provoking questions and encourage the student to continue exploring many different areas of research around the vast world of drug addiction at a biological, personal, or social level.

However, I do think that the way the lectures were delivered was a bit dry and that more perspectives on the drug addiction issue could have been presented.

:) It is a short, but multidisciplinary course, that covers all the problematics about drug addiction.

A great broad introduction into drug addiction and the brain.

Knowing how drug addiction works in the human brain might be helpful, especially on court, where some individuals are convicted for drug issues when, sometimes, it's not only their choice.

Very comprehensive on all aspects on drug addiction, though a bit too difficult for those without any medical or biological background knowledge.

As a trainee lawyer I found this course quite good and helpful.

I found this course fascinating as I have no background in this at all.

Briefly introduce some concepts of the drug use and some in neuroscience, a good introduction course.

Very useful for teachers, students, health professionals, drug users and families affected by addictions.

This has given me plenty of material to discuss with friends and family regarding the effects of drug use, not just through description of symptoms, but also being able to describe how drugs affect neurotransmission in the brain.

And it also helps to open one's mind to see drug addiction and drug users with an other point of view!

The experiments and scanning of the brain imaging techniques show how the brain responds in various factors like how a drug addicted brain differs from the normal brain in metabolism.

In overall, the ''Addicted Brain'' course positively predisposes me towards opting for more courses provided and sponsored by the Emory University.

i love the addicted brain course it teachs you so many cool things about drugs,neurotransmitters,how then drugs affect the body.

Excellent insight into how we become addicts.

A great insight into the addicted brain and what can be done about it all.
