Q&A - The Neuroscience of Addiction - with Marc Lewis

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 10 Δεκ 2016

Are
ancient psychotropic substances a possible route for treating
addiction? Does stress play a role in recurring cravings? What role do
dopamine-blocking drugs have? Marc Lewis answers questions from the
audience after his talk.

In
recent decades doctors have branded addiction a brain disease, and
treated it as such. But in this riveting and provocative talk,
neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes the convincing case
that addiction isn’t a disease at all. Using personal stories and robust
science, he explains how addiction really impacts our brains, and how
neuroplasticity and a developmental approach to treatment can help to
overcome it.

Marc Lewis is a neuroscientist and professor of
developmental psychology, recently at the University of Toronto, where
he taught and conducted research from 1989 to 2010, and presently at
Radboud University in the Netherlands. He is the author or co-author of
over 50 journal publications in psychology and neuroscience, editor of
an academic book on developmental psychology, and co-author of a book
for parents. More recently he has written two books concerning
addiction.
