The brain is an organ of communication. There is no single pathway for any neurobehavioral function or dysfunction. Drug abuse and addiction may at first appear to be due to the particular action of a drug at a neurotransmitter receptor or other physiological target process, but because of the intricate communication among neural systems, actions at a particular receptor quickly involves a much broader array of interacting systems.
Guest lecture by Daniel A. Bell (Professor, Chair of Political Theory, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong) on his most recent book, Why Ancient Chinese Political Thought Matters.

Yet many clinicians have had little formal training on how these technologies work, their limitations, or how to incorporate them appropriately into patient care.
