They are selectively included in the coverage of BioSciences InfOrma- tion Service, Chemical Abstracts, Current Contents, Psychological Abstracts, and Psychopharmacology Abstracts. iv Preface The Research Analysis and Utilization System (RADS) is designed to serve four functions: oCollection and systematic classification of findings of all intramural and extramural research supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA); o Evaluation by scientific peers of the latest research find- ings; o Regular dissemination of findings to researchers in the field and to administrators, planners, instructors, and other interested persons; o Provision of a feedback mechanism to NIDA staff and plan- ners so that administration and monitoring of the NIDA research program reflect the very latest knowledge,gleaned from research in the field. Since there is a limit to the number of research findings that can be intensively reviewed annually, four subject areas are chosen each year and subjected to a thorough review. The reviewers, distin- guished scientists in the selected field, are provided with copies of all pertinent literature and reports from NIDA-funded research. They are invited to add to this any information derived from their own research and that of colleagues not funded by,NIDA.Each reviewer writes a state-of-the-art paper in his or her particular subject area. These papers make up a RAUS Review Report in the NIDA Research Monograph series. Additionally, an evaluative meeting is held for presentation of the papers and exchange of ideas among the scientists and with NIDA staff. This meeting has sometimes been referred to as the "therefore" meeting: Here is our position: therefore, where are we going next, and where should.further research lead?Should we alter our path? Step up NIDA support because new needs have arisen or new develop- ments hold special promise? Discussions at the meeting and the specific recommendations of the experts in the field provide a basis upon which NIDA evolves its plans for future research. In Fiscal Year 1980, Drug Abuse and the American Adolescent was cho- sen as an area for RAUS review. The review centered on the epidemi- ology of drug abuse among American adolescents, with particular emphasis on marijuana use because this is the most prevalent type of illicit drug used by adolescents. The factors which contribute to the init were also covered. Dr. Denise Kandel, who chaired the meeting; has'Presented a compre- hensive overview of the subject in the first_paper. Other aspects of the topic reviewed include the epidemiology of drug use patterns among teen-agers; the personality and sociodemographic factors associated with drug use; the influence of family and peer group on the adolescent's drug-abusing behavior or lack thereof; the relation- ship between drug abuse and crime; and a review of the biomedical consequences of drug use in adolescents. DT. Robert Russell has summarized the salient points of the papers and the discussion in the Executive Summary.Dr. Dan Lettieri; Chief; Psychological Sciences Branch; NIDA Division of Research; directed the scientific discdssion.

DRUG USE SEQUENCING AND KANDEL'S GATEWAY HYPOTHESIS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Applied Sociology by John Matthew Reid August 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Brenda Vander Mey, Committee Chair Dr. Douglas Kinly Sturkie Dr. Margaret Tina Britz i ABSTRACT This thesis tests the hypothesis by Kandel (1975) that there is a specific sequence of drug use that users follow. Using the same scalogram analysis technique utilized by Kandel in her original Gateway Hypothesis study, a distinct sequence of use was discovered. This thesis is based on the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2005). This study confirmed Kandel’s earlier findings in that this study determined that there is a sequence of drug use. The current study also confirms Kandel’s position that licit drugs precede the use of illicit drugs. This study’s findings differ from those of Kandel, however, in that tobacco and not alcohol was found to be the first drug of experimentation.

  • In Search of Memory a Film by Petra Seeger
    In Search of Memory A Film by petra seeger The Neuroscientist Eric Kandel Winner of the Nobel Prize 95 minutes / color / 1.85:1 / Stereo Digital / 2008 English and German w/English Subtitles An Icarus Films Release 32 Court Street, 21st Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201 T (718) 488 8900 / (800) 876 1710 / F (718) 488 8642 www.IcarusFilms.com / [email protected] Synopsis “Memory is everything. Without it we are nothing,” says neuroscientist Eric Kandel, winner of the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking research on the physiology of the brain’s storage of memories. As he explains, memory is the glue that binds our mental life together and provides a sense of continuity in our lives. IN SEARCH OF MEMORY is a compelling blend of autobiography and history that recounts the life of one of the most important neuroscientists of the 20th century and illuminates scientific developments in our understanding of the brain’s role in recording and preserving memory. In addition to archival footage and dramatic re-creations of Kandel’s childhood experiences in Nazi- occupied Vienna and his formative years as an emigrant in New York, the film features discussions with Kandel, friends and family, as well as his public lectures in Vienna and New York, which explore both his professional and personal life, especially his emotional ties to Judaism. Both through its personal journey into the memory of this amazingly spry and witty 79-year old, especially his traumatic experiences during the Holocaust, and a visit to his Columbia University laboratory, where Kandel and his colleagues demonstrate their experimental research, IN SEARCH OF MEMORY examines how the brain stores memories, the difference between short-term and long-term memory, Alzheimer’s and age-related memory loss, and structural modifications to the brain that enhance memory.
