Touchscreens and milkshakes: Study reveals more about brain’s reward systems

Using strawberry milkshakes, mouse models of disease, cutting-edge fiber optic technology and touchscreens, researchers at Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry have gained a better understanding of our brain’s reward networks. And in doing so, they are paving the way to new treatments for addiction and neuropsychiatric disease, such as schizophrenia, depression and Parkinson’s disease.
