Anatomy of the Human Body: Addiction

​Here is a link to our website: https://ssam19.wixsite.com/gethelp/opioid 

For this project, we had to pick a topic that was related to the Nervous System. We decided to focus on alcoholism and addiction. The reason for this is because in the past few decades there has been a big opioid epidemic that has been continuing to grow. While working on this project I learned more about the specific parts of the brain and how they were affected by drugs, but more importantly I also learned that sugar has a similar effect on the brain and it is related to our biology. However, this leaves me thinking are people who don't have a sweet tooth also affected by this? and how do we fight the biological craving?
