Judith Grisel, Ph.D., is a behavioral neuroscientist and professor of psychology at Bucknell University whose research focuses on the neurological underpinnings of addiction. Her work has been supported by over a million dollars in federal funding, examining genetic and biological factors that predispose individuals to substance abuse. Notably, her research uncovered a genetic risk factor for alcoholism in women, contributing to the scientific understanding of addiction disparities.
In addition to her academic research, Grisel has authored the widely acclaimed book "Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction," which translates complex scientific concepts into accessible insights for general readers. Her writing bridges the gap between academic neuroscience and public understanding, exploring how addiction alters brain function and behavior.
Grisel's expertise stems from both professional research and personal experience, lending depth to her analysis of substance use disorders. Her work continues to influence both scientific discourse and broader conversations about addiction prevention and treatment.
