Alcohol & Drug Use: The Neuroscientific Perspective

Note: This show is simulcast on an old fashioned radio station - for the best listening experience - go to: http://www.wmhw.org/modernrock/home.html (or click on the link for Modern Rock under our "links" section to the right) We continue our Modern Rock 91.5 format with a show that is fitting for the debauchery in which college students engage during Spring Break. Dr. Michael Sandstrom, of the CMU neuroscience department, will join the discussion about the neuroscientific dimensions of partying. Among the questions to be addressed will be the neuroscientfic definition of "addiction", and the relationship between the "drunken self" and the "true self." Our objective is to arm you with enabling knowledge in order make your Spring Break memorable, rather than something that you cannot even remember.
