Gift from Astra Zeneca
We want to thank AstraZeneca (and Past-President Michael Swedberg
for his role in obtaining the contribution) for its generous contribution
of $1000.00 to help defray the costs of last year’s meeting at Neuroscience.
Call for Abstracts for 2003 SSPD Meeting
If you or your students are interested in presenting a 15-20
min informal paper on your research on the stimulus properties of drugs, please
submit an abstract to our Secretary/Treasurer Joe Porter (jporter@vcu.edu) by October
1, 2003.
This year a major focus of the oral presentations will be a discussion of
drug discrimination methods and some related procedures in mice. However,
ALL studies on the stimulus properties of drugs are welcome, so please submit
an abstract. We look forward to hearing about your latest research findings!
2002 SSPD Meeting at SfN
Last year, SSPD hosted an evening paper session at the Society
for Neuroscience in Orlando, FL on Tuesday night. Thanks to Joe Porter for getting our room and snacks
organized on such short notice. Despite conflicting with the NIDA Neurobiology
of Relapse satellite meeting, our attendance had tripled from the previous
year. Joe was able to collect dues from a number of members, which helped
to fill the dwindling coffers. The attending membership at the business meeting
suggested moving the meeting earlier in the week for the following year.
A lively discussion of the following abstracts ensued. Thank you again to
our four speakers (the first authors) for presenting such interesting data
on the stimulus properties of drugs.
The abstracts are presented on the next page.
