The subject of this course is the neuroscience of reward, motivation, and addiction. The course will cover a number of topics including neural systems controlling motivation and reward-seeking, how natural reinforcers and drugs of abuse influence brain function, and the neural and behavioral plasticity underlying addiction. Course structure will consist partly of lectures and partly of student presentations and interactive discussion in a guided journal-club style format.
