Our author, a cognitive psychologist and head of Dartmouth College's Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab, examines the relationship among our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about pain and the actual physical pain that we feel, what pain looks like in the brain, and how new research findings are leading to effective new treatments.
In 2016, Science magazine ranked Randy L. Buckner among the top ten most influential brain scientists of the modern era. He explains the road to discovering the default network, the pattern of brain activity triggered as we think about the past and the future.
Our authors, who direct the Addiction Institute for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, address the substance-abuse avalanche brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Your brain keeps you alive and well by running a metabolic "budget" for your body.
