U-M professor to discuss ’cravings’ research with the Dalai Lama

ANN ARBOR-In his exiled India home, the Dalai Lama of Tibet this month will pick University of Michigan researcher Kent Berridge's brain about cravings. Berridge, the James Olds Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, says he's honored to discuss his findings on how the brain's large "wanting" systems cause intense craving. A dozen neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, addiction clinicians, philosophers and theologians have been invited by the Dalai Lama for a week-long dialog Oct. 28-Nov. 1 about craving, desire and addiction. Each person will give a half-day presentation; Berridge is scheduled for Oct. 29.
