摘要
This article re resents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2001 RSA Meeting in Montreal, Canada. The organizers were Barbara J. Mason and George F. Koob. Anita M. Goodman served as chair. The presentations were (1) Acamprosate inhibits alcohol withdrawal-induced neurotoxicity in organotypic hippocampal cultures, by John Littleton; (2) Acamprosate alteration of NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity, by George R. Siggins; (3) Acamprosare and glutamate during ethanol withdrawal, by Philippe De Witte; (4) Clinical evidence of protective CNS effects of acamprosate in alcohol-dependent individuals. by Barbara J. Mason.
