Modeling addiction: trusted experimental approaches are tried in new applications.
The EuroConference/Neurochemistry Winter Conference on Modeling Addiction, held on 6-11 April 2002 in Soelden, Austria(1) explored the question of how various experimental approaches, ranging from those at the level of molecular biology to human behavior, reflect human patterns of drug abuse and dependence and whether these various approaches constitute suitable predictive or homologous models to test novel pharmacotherapies.
