EVOLUTION OF NATURAL AND DRUG-SENSITIVE REWARD ...

In this special topic issue  the main goal of the select contributions is to question a wide
range of beliefs and assumptions in the field of drug addiction. Papers include topics such as
the review of evolutionary considerations where plants have evolved addictive plant metabolites
as a defense against insect herbivory  and how nicotine  cocaine  morphine  and others act as
weaponized learning disruptors targeting motivational  physiological  and reward circuits of
insects. Other papers review new work on disrupted sensory perceptions in drug-associated
hallucinations  pinpoint the central role of the microbiome for the functioning of the CNS in
addiction  and address the significance of epigenetic factors in addiction. This publication is
relevant for a wide readership  including practitioners  clinicians  mammalian neuroscientists
and anyone who wants to gain a broader perspective on the subject of addiction from various
standpoints.
