ON ADDICTION
May 7-8, 2006

The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory presented On Addiction, a major symposium that examined new ways of thinking about addiction and its underlying causes. Moderated by Ira Flatow, of National Public Radio's Science Friday, the symposium will brought together neuroscientists, clinicians, patients, and representatives from the health care industry in an exchange of ideas that might lead to better prevention, and treatment of addiction.

On Addiction is the second installment of the Picower Institute's Open Mind Series, which will explore the possibility that insights gained by neuroscientists who are studying learning and memory mechanisms in the brain might be usefully applied to problems of great societal importance.

The final symposium will focus on the aging brain. The Open Mind Series is sponsored by CIGNA.
