Cognitive Neuroscience of Addiction Fall/Spring 3 Credits Addictive disorders involve complex interactions among neurobiological, psychological, environmental, and sociocultural features and can reflect problems across a range of substances or behaviors. From drug abuse, to gambling, to the more controversial sex addiction and food addiction, problems with addiction share important commonalities in neurocircuitry. In this course, we will adopt a multidisciplinary lens and review contemporary research involving techniques such as brain stimulation and real-time neurofeedback to explore addiction processes and strategies for treatment. Neuroscience of Emotion Fall/Spring 3 Credits How do we understand the interplay of human emotions and their neural networks? This course applies findings from the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and the psychological study of cognition, emotion, and personality. Basic, complex, and social emotions are explored from the perspective of, for example, the subjective experience of emotion, non-conscious processes, and how emotions are interpreted, expressed, or regulated. Affective systems, neural networks, and their relationship to cognitive processes such as attention, learning, memory, and decision making are addressed. Where relevant, human brain imaging findings, pathological conditions, treatment, and cultural perspectives are considered. Core Course Study Tours This program travels on Study Tours to the following destinations: Affective Neuroscience: Emotions, Cognition, and Behavior: Week-Long Study Tour: Paris Core Course Week: Sweden    Cognitive Neuroscience of Addiction: Week-Long Study Tour: London Core Course Week: Sweden  Early in the semester, you delve into your academic focus during Core Course Week, in which you travel on a short Study Tour for three days in Sweden, combined with a two-day seminar in Stockholm. Later in the semester, you travel again with your Core Course on a week-long Study Tour in Europe. While on tour, theories learned in the classroom come to life by meeting with professionals and experts in your field who contribute to furthering your understanding of course topics. Study Tours are hands-on and experiential, combining theory with practice, and expose you to additional cultural perspectives. You have the opportunity to visit sites and experts in your field of interest that you may not otherwise have access too.

Neuroscience

How do we understand the interplay between human emotions, addictive processes, and neural networks? As humans, emotions are intrinsic to our socialization, and influence our cognition and behavior. Moreover, extreme problems with emotional processing may contribute to the development of addictive disorders.
