Renowned behavioral neuroscientist Judith Grisel will be discussing her book Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction. The book uncovers the science behind addiction interwoven with Grisel’s own personal stories as a recovered drug addict to reveal the brain’s critical contributions to addictive behavior. 

Grisel, Ph.D., is a behavioral neuroscientist and a professor of psychology at BucknellU. She has been awarded more than a million dollars in federal funding to pursue research on the causes of drug abuse. Her work focuses on what in the brain predisposes people to addiction, and her most recent paper revealed a genetic risk for alcoholism in women.
