Beginning with Seven Brain Facts necessary in understanding intoxication and addiction in the adolescent and young adult brain, Mind Candy II: Who's Minding the Intoxicated Brain? launches readers into the neuroscience of addiction. The major chemical systems, connections, and pathways in the brain known to lie behind intoxication demonstrate how easy it is for highly addictive substances to overwhelm the entire brain.
Mind Candy II presents well-researched parameters from the neurobehavioral perspective of intoxication and addiction. Armed with accurate information, parents, teachers, and counselors can begin meaningful dialogue with pre-pubescent teenagers and adolescents who may be tempted to experiment with drugs in middle school, high school, or college.
