The Nucleus Accumbens and Substantia Nigra both play a very important role in addiction; however, the Ventral Tegmental Area is also closely associated with addiction. The Amygdala, and the Hippocampus are also important to consider in addiction. Addiction is related to the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, which is responsible for motivation, as well as feelings of reward and reinforcement for behavior, and includes the NAcc, VTA, Amygdala, and Hippocampus.
critically
Addiction can impact multiple areas of the brain, including the reward pathway involving the nucleus accumbens, the prefrontal cortex responsible for decision-making and impulse control, and the amygdala which is involved in processing emotions. Chronic substance use can lead to changes in these areas, affecting an individual's ability to regulate their behavior and make healthy choices.
Social learning is considered the most important single factor in addiction. It includes patterns of use in the addict's family or subculture, peer pressure, and advertising or media influence
Brain
True
False. The brain plays a crucial role in addiction, as it is involved in the reward system, decision-making, and impulse control. Substances and behaviors associated with addiction can alter brain chemistry and structure, leading to compulsive behaviors and cravings. Understanding these neurological changes is essential for developing effective treatments for addiction.

Yes it causes an addiction to the brain it stimulates it then it depends on it
The theory that addiction is a disease is controversial.

Broca's area in the frontal lobe and Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe.
The blockage interrupts the flow of blood to regions of the brain (a stroke ), which, if sustained, causes the death of cells in numerous areas of the brain.
The associated areas of the brain support abstract thinking and language. The temporal, parietal and occipital lobes organize the sensory input and integrate with past experiences to send the motor areas for responses.
