title: Serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and alcohol: reward, withdrawal and discrimination.
abstract: This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2003 Research Society on Alcoholism meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The organizer was Karl J. Buck, and the chairperson was Mark S. Brodie. The presentations were (1) The Multiple PDZ Domain Protein May Mediate Genetic Differences in Ethanol Withdrawal Severity Via Interaction With 5-HT2 Receptors, by Matthew T. Reilly and Kari J. Buck; (2) The Ionic Mechanism of Serotonin Potentiation of Ethanol Excitation of Ventral Tegmental Area Neurons, by Mark S. Brodie; and (3) 5-HT(2C) Receptor Agonists in the Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Ethanol, by Laura M. Rogers, Ken Szeliga, and Kathleen Grant.
