Translating neuroscience into treatments and public health policies for addictive behaviours

神经科学的进步有望彻底改变我们治疗和预防成瘾性疾病的能力，如赌博，暴饮暴食和吸毒成瘾。这些发展也可能产生意想不到的临床后果，削弱个人对自己行为控制的信念，或增加耻辱和歧视。该项目将制定临床指南和公共卫生政策建议，以确保我们实现神经科学的益处，同时最大限度地减少社会危害。

Advances from neuroscience promise to revolutionise our ability to treat and prevent addictive disorders such as gambling, overeating and drug addiction. These developments may also have unexpected clinical consequences, undermine individuals’ belief in their control over their behaviour or increase stigma and discrimination. This project will develop clinical guidelines and public health policy recommendations to ensure that we realise the benefits of neuroscience while minimising social harms.
