BROWN, PH.D. is Vice Chancellor for Research and a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Brown is internationally recognized for her developmentally focused alcohol and drug intervention research. She is the past President of Division 50 (Addictions) of the American Psychological Association, is on the executive board of numerous scientific organizations, and has over 320 publications. She is involved in addiction prevention and intervention at the regional, state, and national levels and helped lead NIAAA’s effort to establish national screening guidelines for youth. She currently directs the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA). ·         MICHAEL A. NADER, PH.D. is a Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, NC. Dr. Michael Nader’s research interest began in the laboratory of Dr. Alice Young at Wayne State University. He received his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of Minnesota, under the mentorship of Dr. Travis Thompson and completed post-doctoral training in behavioral pharmacology at Uniformed Services University under the mentorship of Dr. James Barrett. In 1988, he went to the University of Chicago, where Dr. William Woolverton trained him in nonhuman primate models of cocaine abuse. Since 1992, Dr. Nader has been on the faculty in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, where he is Professor. His research has focused on nonhuman primate models of drug abuse, combining brain imaging with behavioral methods to better understand how environmental (including social) and pharmacological variables influence addiction. His laboratory is the only one in the world studying socially housed monkeys (male and female) in intravenous drug self-administration studies. He has served on Board of Directors of the CPDD, is past-chair of the Division of Behavioral Pharmacology at ASPET and is currently a member of NIDA Council. Dr. Nader has a MERIT Award from NIDA. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP Treating Adolescent Substance Abuse:  What Works and How Can We Do It? Adolescence is an exciting period of development, as it inherently involves the exploration of identity, autonomy, sexuality, value systems, and peer relationships. Further, during this period, adolescents often “try on” different facets of adult life, including experimentation with health risk behaviors, including alcohol, cigarette, and cannabis use. This experimentation is facilitated by changes in adolescents’ social environment, which becomes increasingly peer-dominated, and has an increasing presence of alcohol and cannabis use opportunities. While many youth continue to adulthood without consequence, the substance use patterns of many adolescents interfere with their academic progress, as well as their health, personal, and social development. This workshop presents an opportunity for us to explore the state of the art of adolescent addictions research, including current empirically supported interventions. In addition, this workshop includes hands-on experience practicing foundational skills in three empirically supported intervention approaches (motivational interviewing, contingency management, and mindfulness based relapse prevention). Participants will depart with basic knowledge of, skills in, and resources to obtain further information in each clinical approach. Presenter: Sarah W. Feldstein Ewing, Ph.D., University of New Mexico, Honors College/Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA)   POSTER SESSION The priority deadline for poster proposals is October 1, 2013.

SfN Minisymposium – New Insights into the Specificity and Plasticity of Reward and Aversion Encoding in the Mesolimbic System

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

8:30-11:00 am

Upper Level Meeting Room – 28A

San Diego Convention Center

 

Dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and one of their targets, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) are often referred to as the "brain reward system." But it has long been known that neurons in both of these areas also respond to aversive stimuli and events. With the advent of new anatomical, physiological, and behavioral approaches, a more sophisticated and complex understanding is emerging of how these brain areas produce both positive and negative motivational states in varying contexts. This symposium will highlight new approaches and findings, including the use of optogenetic and other techniques to identify and activate specific subcircuits, behavioral manipulations to alter the valence of stimuli depending on prior experience, and methods to investigate adaptations in coordinated neuronal activity. The speakers will demonstrate that recent research on the mesocorticolimbic system has moved well beyond questions such as "what does dopamine do?" Dr. Stephan Lammel will discuss the diverse functions of distinct subtypes of dopamine neurons in the VTA. Dr. Elyssa Margolis will discuss the heterogeneity of mu-opioid signaling in the VTA. Dr. Yunbok Kim will show how synchronized VTA neuronal firing changes during appetitive and aversive learning. Dr. Mitchell Roitman's presentation on dopamine signaling in the NAc also will show that the encoding of positive versus negative motivation in the NAc can be modulated by behavioral state and learning. Dr. Jocelyn Richard's talk will focus on how specific inputs from the prefrontal cortex bias motivational valence in the NAc. Finally, Dr. Mary Kay Lobo will discuss the distinct roles in motivational control of the NAc's two major outputs, the direct and indirect pathway medium spiny neurons.

IV.            NIH BRAIN Initiative: Forum to Discuss Interim Report

 

Date & Time: Monday, November 11, 2013 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Location: San Diego Convention Center

Room: 33C

 

Sponsored By: National Institutes of Health

The NIH Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of brain function. The BRAIN Initiative aims to develop and apply innovative technologies to produce a dynamic picture of the brain, capturing how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space to encode information and code for behavior. Given the ambitious scope of this pioneering endeavor, it is vital that planning for the NIH BRAIN Initiative be informed by a wide range of expertise and experience. Therefore, NIH has established a working group of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) to articulate the scientific goals of the BRAIN Initiative and develop a multi-year scientific plan for achieving these goals, including timetables, milestones, and cost estimates. As part of this charge, the working group was asked to produce an interim report in fall 2013 containing specific recommendations on high-priority investments for Fiscal Year 2014. The focus of this event will be to seek input from the neuroscience community on this interim report to inform the final strategic plan, due to the NIH Director in June 2014.

This announcement is intended to encourage early career chemists (or chemists new to NIH) to develop probes that aid basic research investigations on drug abuse and/or identify new or better templates as lead compounds with potential for conducting structure activity relationship (SAR)-function studies. Importantly, this includes the identification of new chemical entities (NCEs) with therapeutic potential for drug abuse and addiction.

Standard dates apply, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.  Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow adequate time to make any corrections to errors found in the application during the submission process by the due date.

 

II.                   Illuminate the Druggable Genome (IDG) –

Adaptation of Scalable Technologies to Illuminate the Druggable Genome (U01)  (RFA-RM-13-010) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-13-010.html

Development of a Knowledge Management Center for Illuminating the Druggable Genome (U54)  (RFA-RM-13-011) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-13-011.html

The IDG project is predicated on the need to fully explore the underlying biology and role in disease of genes linked to already drugged genes within the Druggable Genome. While the number of drugged targets is relatively limited, there are many more, related, genes that if more deeply investigated may define new biology and/or new therapeutic targets.  The IDG project represents a new NIH Common Fund project and seeks to:

 

1)      Develop a useful and public Knowledgebase that can be used to identify gaps in our knowledge of the Druggable Genome and prioritize where to subsequently invest resources

2)      Adapt and scale technologies to rapidly illuminate the underlying biology and potential role in disease of prioritized genes

 

Please review these FOAs, share them with colleagues, and consider ways in which you may respond with applications. Full details on submission deadlines, application formats, review considerations, and implementation framework for the IDG may be found in the FOAs themselves. In addition, a technical assistance webinar for the Knowledge Management Center RFA will be held in early October. Information about the webinar will be posted on the IDG webpage at http://commonfund.nih.gov/IDG/.

[DIV28SUPER] Dissertation Survey Request

Dear Division 28 Member,

My name is Yvona Pabian, M.Ed., a counseling psychology doctoral candidate and a student member of Division 28. I am writing to kindly ask you to participate in my dissertation research conducted under the direction of Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel, Ph.D.

My study seeks to explore psychologists' views on alcohol and other drug (AoD) training and certification, attitudes and practices toward working with substance-using clients, and perceptions of professional support to practice AoD counseling. These topic have taken on increasing importance in light of emerging evidence showing the field's low involvement in AoD counseling and APA's removal of the AoD certificate training program it had sponsored.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes of your time. As a psychologist with valuable experience, your participation is particularly important to us. You do not have to work primarily in addictions to complete this survey. Your participation in this study may help identify psychologists' AoD workforce development needs, and provide new insights into strategies and policies that may support psychologists' treatment of substance-using clients. Ultimately, the study hopes to contribute knowledge that will improve AoD treatment services.

As a token of our appreciation for your time, we would like to invite you to participate in a raffle for a $100 gift card.  

If you are interested in participating, you can click on the survey link below which will take you to the informed consent page. If you consent, you will then be asked to respond to several questions about AoD training, professional support systems, and attitudes and practices with substance-using clients.  

Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZH369SV

If you have any further questions, please call me at (440) 749-2666 or e-mail me at ypabian@me.com. You may also contact Dr. Welfel at welfeler@yahoo.com or (216) 687-4605.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.  

Sincerely,
