Uri Shalev – President’s Conference Series: Understanding Desire, Session 1

Shalev’s current research focuses on reward obtaining-directed behaviour, particularly the hypothesis that brain mechanisms failing to control drug-taking behaviour are also the ones involved in the loss of control on eating, resulting in obesity or eating disorders. He is also investigating the interaction between the development of mental disorders and drug abuse due to early-life environmental experiences. Shalev received the National Institute on Drug Abuse/Intramural Research Program Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award in 2002. He has also authored articles for renowned publications such as The Journal of Neuroscience and Pharmacological Reviews.
