9 | Addiction and Biocultural Feedback Loops with Neuroanthropologist Dr Daniel Lende

In this episode, I discuss the roots of addiction from a neuroanthropological perspective with Dr Daniel Lende—an Anthropology Professor at the University of South Florida.

We discuss his research on addiction, and his attempts to bridge ethnographic data with neuroscience in order to understand the biocultural feedback loop that lies at the heart of addiction. Also discussed are American notions of gender, and how social media has comes to influence so much of our lives.
