Summary:

University of Arkansas Assistant Professor of Psychology Josiah Leong and his research team study structural and functional connections in the brain that link emotions to perception (input) and choice (output). In this presentation, Dr. Leong shares the novel research his team has done in mapping development of the brain's reward system in adolescents as well as their findings suggesting this can be used to predict future drug use.
