The Integration of Research from Diverse Fields: Transdisciplinary Approaches Bridging Behavioral Research, Cognitive Neuroscience, Pharmacology, and Genetics to Reduce Cancer Risk Behavior

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Strategies for Team Science Success

Abstract

This chapter highlights a transdisciplinary behavioral science research program that merges concepts and tools from the fields of behavioral science and cognitive neuroscience. A series of discoveries by this team converged on the importance of working memory-related brain activity in smoking cessation, culminating in a neuroimaging-based biomarker of smoking relapse. This body of work has enabled identification of cognitive and neural mechanisms as potential therapeutic targets for novel behavior change interventions for tobacco dependence and overeating/obesity. The authors will describe their work bridging these fields, highlighting strategies for promoting transdisciplinary research.
