Research summary
AI-generated

David A. Kareken studies how the human brain responds to rewards, cravings, and self-control, using brain imaging (such as functional MRI) to understand behaviors like alcohol use and eating. Much of the work focuses on brain connectivity—how different brain regions communicate—and on developing statistical methods to analyze these imaging datasets. The research also examines the sense of smell and its links to drinking and mood.
