If, on the other hand, the brain controls the mind, an incendiary conclusion follows: There can be no free will, no praise, no punishment and no purgatory.

He has discovered 94 brain regions, 64 homologies and published 58 books. His first book, The Rat Brain in Stereo

Cell type-specific gene regulatory mechanisms associated with addiction-related behaviors in rats

Francesca Telese, PhD · University of California, San Diego

Wed, May 11, 2022 · 17:00 UTC

Understanding the fundamental gene regulatory mechanisms underlying addiction and related behaviors could facilitate more effective treatments. We discuss our work using multi-omics methods to provide mechanistic and functional insights into how addiction perturbs gene regulatory programs in the rat brain, with single-cell resolution.
