The roles of dopamine and serotonin in reward and addiction
The PhD project between Aarhus University and the University of Cambridge has examined the roles of dopamine and serotonin in reward and addiction, and its results have led to novel perspectives on how to improve addiction treatment efforts from the current understanding. Furthermore, the project has contributed to the WHO's inclusion of "compulsive sexual behavior disorder" in its diagnostic manual, the ICD-11, which implies that people suffering from this disorder will have new possibilities of treatment.
The project is performed by Casper Schmidt, who will defend his dissertation on 28 June 2019.
The defense is public and takes place on:
Friday 28 June 2019 14:00-16:30
Tvillingeauditorierne Auditorium 011, Building 1324, Aarhus University, (enter from Victor Albecks Vej), 8000 Aarhus C.
After the defense, CFIN - Centre of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience will host a reception in the pavilion of Building 1A, Nørrebrogade 44.
