En esta sección ofreceremos materiales educativos, preferentemente en formato video, que puedan ser útiles para los interesados en la investigación clínica o pre-clínica en adicciones. También anunciaremos cursos organizados por RICPA o por entidades colaboradoras.
CURSO: NEUROSCIENCE of ADDICTION
Departure: August 15th around 12pm EST
The course will be held at the Laboratory’s Banbury Conference Center located on the north shore of Long Island. All participants stay within walking distance of the Center.
COVID-19: All participants planning to attend in-person will be required to attest to recent COVID vaccination (within one year of the course’s start date) with an FDA or WHO approved vaccine. Additional safety measures will be in line with current NY and Federal Guidelines applicable in Summer 2023.

Drug addiction is the most costly neuropsychiatric disorder faced by our nation. Acute and repeated exposure to drugs produces neuroadaptation and long-term memory of the experience, but the cellular and molecular processes involved are only partially understood.
The primary objective of the proposed workshop is to provide an intense dialogue of the fundamentals, state-of-the-art advances and major gaps in the cell and molecular biology of drug addiction. Targeted to new or experienced investigators, the workshop will combine formal presentations and informal discussions to convey the merits and excitement of cellular and molecular approaches to drug addiction research. With the advent of genomics and proteomics, an extraordinary opportunity now exists to develop comprehensive models of neuroadaptative processes fundamental to addiction, withdrawal, craving, relapse to drug use and general brain function.
A range of disciplines and topics will be represented, including:
- Noninvasive brain imaging to identify drug targets and adaptive processes
- Neuroadaptative processes at the molecular and cellular level
- Neural networks and their modulation
- Relevance of genotype to susceptibility and drug response
- Tolerance and adaptation at the cellular level
- Approaches to exploiting the daunting volume generated by neuroinformatics
This workshop will provide an integrated view of current and novel research on neuroadaptive responses to addiction, foster discussion on collaboration and integration, provide critical information needed to construct a model of addiction as a disease and novel molecular targets for biological treatments. Beyond the plane of scientific endeavor, the information is vital for formulating public policy and for enlightening the public on the neurobiological consequences of drug use and addiction.
This workshop is designed to generate interest in this level of analysis, open conduits for collaborations and present novel routes to investigating the neurobiology of addictive drugs.

- Compartimos con ustedes la participación de la Dra. Nora Volkow (Directora del NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE, EEUU) en la XIV Reunión Nacional y III Encuentro Internacional de la AACC, que tuvo lugar en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, entre el 21 al 23 de Agosto de 2013. La conferencia se llama «Que sabemos de la adicción». La Asociación Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento (AACC) es una organización federal, sin fines de lucro, creada el 21 de Mayo de 1987 con el objetivo principal de contribuir al desarrollo de la investigación científica y la docencia en ciencias del comportamiento, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria.

- Para entender las adicciones a sustancias químicas es muy importante conocer como está estructurado y como funciona nuestro cerebro. En este excelente y extenso video una de las Adscriptas de la Cátedra A de Neurofisiología y Psicofisiología de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina), la Lic. Ana Daniela Bordón, repasa elementos claves de la Anatomía del Encéfalo. La Adscripta repasa vistas inferior, superior, lateral, así como los cortes coronal, horizontal sagital, y todas las estructuras asociadas. https://youtu.be/cfYfSzIdFeI
