22-11 Role of Limbic System and Brain Ontogeny in Drug Abuse (NIH)

This initiative is designed to support basic research into the fundamental mechanisms of development of the midbrain and basal forebrain structures that mediate the euphoric properties of drugs as well as understanding how drugs of abuse affect the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying nervous system development. In the past, vertebrate model systems (such as chick, frog, mouse, and zebrafish) and invertebrate systems (such as Drosophila and C. Elegans) have provided insights into mechanisms of development and are also likely to provide new information about the formation and specification of the limbic system. Approaches using these or other model systems both in vitro and in vivo are applicable to this program announcement. PA-98-032 (NIHG 02/25/98)
