What goes wrong in the brain chemistry of a gambling addict?
This was an entertaining read, but it seems like fairly old information in regards the role of the dopamine reward system in addiction in general. We already know with a pretty high degree of confidence, that chemicals and behaviors which act to &quot;hijack&quot; that system are almost inevitably addictive.<p>What isn&#x27;t so well understood is why some people are so much more vulnerable to that process, and others so resistant, not to mention the continuum between them. Unfortunately as far as I can read, this article doesn&#x27;t offer any new information on that critical issue.
