contents From crayfish to humans: An evolutionary perspective of addiction Carmen Ferrer-Pérez José Miñarro López Comunicación Addiction evolution drugs of abuse brain reward system phylogenetic perspective Addiction is a complex disease whose manifestation is unique to each individual patient. Despite this, our knowledge suggests that many of the consequences of using drugs of abuse are due to alterations in the brain, which would be similar from one individual to another. Specifically, drugs of abuse drugs act on the brain’s reward system to trigger behavioural effects. In this paper, we will unravel the functions and phylogenetic roots of this system and then explain how drugs of abuse can affect the functioning of the brain. Addiction research and treatment requires a biopsychosocial approach and hence, being aware of the phylogenetic side of this problem can help to build a holistic view of the disease. 2022 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511769287013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511769287013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511769287013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511769287013/511769287013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511769287013/movil https://doi.org/10.7203/metode.12.18398 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.12
