Neurobiology of Drug Addiction Gordon Research Conference (GRC)

Neurobiology of Drug Addiction Gordon Research Conference is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and would be held during Jul 16 - 21, 2017 at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.

This Course will start with two keynote talks focused on recent findings in the field as well as previews of what the future holds for addiction research. The regular presentations and discussions are categorized into eight scientific disciplines :

• Genetic, epigenetic, and subcellular mechanisms that regulate motivated behaviors related to drug addiction.
• Memory-oriented alterations and manipulations that are involved in the development and treatment of drug addition, such as learning, memory consolidation and reconsolidation, forgetting, and extinction learning.
• Synaptic adaptations and manipulations in drug craving and drug seeking.
• Brain circuits that are involved in the development and maintenance of drug-induced behaviors.
• Novel animal models that are being crafted in addiction research.
• Biomarkers that can be used to detect and monitor the addictive state.
• New hypotheses of addiction that have been promoted by recent findings.
• New techniques that promise still further advances in drug addiction research.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
