Peter Kalivas, Ph.D., November 19, 2019
"Using the Neuroscience of Willpower to Treat Addiction"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital Conference Center 
11:00 am - 11:45 am    Registration and Lunch, lunch stops being served at 11:45 - no exceptions
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program

Peter Kalivas, Ph.D. is a neuropharmacologist best known for his work to elucidate the brain molecules and neurocircuitry that underlie drug addiction.  His research has identified new brain mechanisms that have become potential pharmacotherapeutic targets for treating addiction in clinical trials. He is a Distinguished University Professor and founding Department Chair of Neuroscience at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. He was President of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology in 2014.  He received his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1980, and during a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (1980-82) he became oriented towards the role that brain circuitry plays in the regulating behavior. In his first faculty position at Louisiana State University in New Orleans (1982-84) and during a more extensive tenure at Washington State University (1984-98) he came to career research focus on the cellular and molecular underpinnings of the brain circuits mediating addiction. 
​
Learning objectives:  
  1. Understand the role of will power in regulating addictive behavior.
  2. Understand the neurobiology of how drugs of abuse alter brain circuits to weaken will power.
  3. Understand the latest thinking and experimental treatments for how to manipulate will power circuitry to promote abstinence.
