TEDxUVM 2011 - Hugh Garavan - Addiction, the Frontal Lobes, and the Science of Willpower

HUGH GARAVAN
Hugh Garavan's research interest is cognitive neuroscience, with a focus on cognitive control functions. This interest merges naturally into clinical questions regarding the neurobiology underlying control dysfunction. Related research interests concern the processes underlying the development of cognitive functions and how these might contribute to the psychopathologies that emerge during adolescence.

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
