Addiction neuroscience explores the complex interplay between genetic, neurobiological, environmental, and socio-spiritual factors underlying substance and behavioral addictions. Over the past three decades, research in this domain has identified critical molecular and epigenetic mechanisms—particularly those affecting dopaminergic signaling and reward pathways—that contribute to both vulnerability and resilience to addictive behaviors.
