Author Information

Richard J Beninger was born in Walkerton ON in 1950. He studied psychology at Western University, London ON and McGill University, Montreal QC. After completing his PhD in 1977, he continued his studies at the University of British Columbia until moving in 1980 to Queen's University, Kingston ON where he retired as Joint Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry in 2015. During his career, Rick's research focused on neurotransmitters and behaviour in general and dopamine and behaviour in particular. Along with his many students, Rick published regularly in peer-reviewed journals, building over the years an integrated understanding of the behavioural function of dopamine and the associated brain mechanisms of reward-related incentive learning.
