title: cAmp signaling cascade: a promising role in ethanol tolerance and dependence.
abstract: This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 ISBRA Meeting in Yokohama, Japan. The chairs were Subhash C. Pandey and Toshikazu Saito. The presentations were (1) Action of ethanol on cAMP signaling pathways, by M. Yoshimura; (2) Alterations in the G protein adenylyl cyclase system and their mRNA levels in alcoholics, by H. Sohma; (3) The role of the CREB gene transcription factor in ethanol dependence and preference, by Subhash C. Pandey; and (4) The efficacy of adenylyl cyclase signal transduction to the nucleus in primary alcoholics, by M. E. Götz.
