I’ve had the pleasure of participating in Bornstein’s Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory during my time at the University of California - Irvine, and I credit this experience with helping me appreciate cognitive science. It also shaped my biases towards computational modeling and data-driven approaches in discussions about the mind and brain, including skepticism towards…

Yavin Shaham is a neuroscientist at the National Institute on Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program. Volitional social interaction prevents drug addiction in rat models (2018) “Addiction treatment has not been appreciably improved by neuroscientific research. One problem is that mechanistic studies using rodent models do not incorporate volitional social factors, which play a critical role in…

Michael Bozarth, alongside Roy Wise, published the famous 1985 Rat Park study that found 90% of rats who were left for a month in a cage with food, water, and cocaine would eventually choose cocaine to the point of death through exhaustion, starvation, and/or dehydration.
