In today’s episode, I review the neuroscience behind Addiction. Using material presented in the Brain Facts Book published by the Society for Neuroscience, I talk about the neurological basis of addiction and the effect it has on the brain.
My guest is Dr. Julie Blendy, a Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Where she is a member of the Institute for Neurological Science and the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics. In addition to that, she also serves as the Chair of the Pharmacology Graduate Group. Her lab is broadly interested in understanding the molecular basis for the biochemical and behavioral changes associated with chronic drug use.
