NIDA NOTES

NIDA NOTES, Vol. 21, No. 4
NIH 07-3478
The lead story looks at the neuropeptide orexin and links to the reward system. The Director's Perspective reports on NIDA's role in the NIH obesity task force, and a NIDA at Work feature reports on the Division of Clinical Neuroscience and Behavioral Research. Research reports look at endorphin's role in inhibiting reward from morphine and nicotine in rats, gene experiments that confirm cocaine exposure regulates certain genes, and a study linking anabolic steroids to brain changes in mice. The NIDA Notes Reference Article provides a primer on the impacts of drugs on neurotransmission.

CTN-Related Publications

Eight editions of the CTN Bulletin Board were distributed. The Bulletin Board is an electronic report on the progress of the protocols, committees, and node activity in the CTN.
