Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Hallucinogenic Drugs: a Possible Relation to Reinforcing and Aversive Effects

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
The subjective effects of drugs are related to the kinds of feelings they produce, such as euphoria or dysphoria. One of the methods that can be used to study these effects is the drug discrimination procedure.

Phencyclidine (PCP) blocks glutamate-activated postsynaptic currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Phencyclidine (PCP) was tested on the metathoracic tibialis muscles of Locusta migratoria. In physiological solution, the peak amplitude of the excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) evoked by nerve stimulation was linearly related to membrane ...

The role of setting for ketamine abuse: clinical and preclinical evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Drug abuse is often seen as a unitary phenomenon, partly as a result of the discovery over the past three decades of shared mechanisms of action for addictive substances. Yet the pattern of drug taking is often very different from drug to drug.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic
