Brain Changes in Addiction: A Dangerous Journey
SUMMARY: Dr. Parker will answer some key questions about addiction, such as how addiction changes the brain, and most importantly, why addiction changes the brain so that often recovering users show cognitive impairments.
Tim retired from 37 years of teaching at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. As noted in his blog:
The first goal is to introduce you to my book on what addiction is and how it changes the brain.....
The second goal is to provide articles on the many interesting discoveries in psychology that I have learned about, and taught about in my years of teaching. My area is biological psychology, more commonly known as brain and behaviour. I will be drawing on the many psychology courses that I have taught.
