Yeah, I mean I wish I could say that I just turn my back on the bad wolf and, you know, embrace the kind one, but for me they re always side by side.
What makes some people more prone to addiction even before they try a drug? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Dr. Judith Grisel, a professor of Psychology at Bucknell University and a behavioral neuroscientist. Dr. Grisel, who has a personal history of overcoming addiction, shares her deep dive into the neuroscience behind addiction.
She discusses her book, *Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction*, which combines her research findings with her personal experiences. The conversation covers a range of topics, including the complex interplay of factors that lead to addiction, the ongoing nature vs. nurture debate, and how isolation can exacerbate addictive behaviors. Dr. Grisel also sheds light on her research aimed at understanding the brain differences in individuals who are more susceptible to addiction.
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the scientific underpinnings of addiction and the personal stories that bring these insights to life.
