Curriculum Development > High School 9-12 > NIH Curriculum Supplements > The Brain: Understanding Neurbiology Through the Study of Addiction   The Brain: Understanding Neurobiology Through the Study of Addiction Grades 9-12, 2000 Uses information about drugs of addiction to teach fundamental concepts of neurobiology. An analysis of current textbooks demonstrates that most presentations on drug abuse and addiction do not include information on how drugs alter brain function by changing the way neurons relay information to other neurons. In addition, these materials, unlike many others, present the science that underlies why addiction should be treated as a chronic disease rather than a moral weakness.
