The Dopaminergic Mind with Dr. Fred Previck

November 10, 2009
Host: Armand DiMele Guests: Dr. Fred Previck

What made humans human? Dr. Fred Previck, MD, cognitive neuroscientist and author, argues that a dramatic expansion of dopamine in the brain drove our species to language, abstract thought, strategic planning, and civilization itself. Armand DiMele traces the arc from early hominids to modern society, asking whether our dopaminergic drive is now outpacing our wisdom.
