<p>Where does pleasure reside in the brain? Do non-humans and embryos feel it too? How can we use this understanding to abolish unnecessary suffering? These are the questions tackled in this episode with Dr. Kent Berridge. <br>
<br>
From Dr. Berridge's profile at the University of Michigan: Research in my lab seeks better answers to questions, such as:</p>
<ul>
 <li>How is pleasure generated in the brain?</li>
 <li>What are the neural bases of reward wanting and liking?</li>
  <li>How are rewards learned?</li>
  <li>How do brain motivation systems work?</li>
  <li>How is appetite controlled?</li>
  <li>What causes addiction?</li>
  <li>How does the brain distinguish pleasant from unpleasant?</li>
  <li>How does fear relate to desire?</li>
</ul>
