The DeNoble-Mele Symposium
- Nicotine Psychopharmacology
and Policy, A Look Behind and a Look Ahead
Drs. Victor DeNoble and Paul Mele described their nicotine research
and experiences at Philip Morris in the early 1980’s (Nicotine research at Philip Morris:
Discoveries suppressed and its consequences; for more about their remarkable adventures,
read the Spring 2005 President’s Column by Jim Zacny.)
The state of nicotine research and public policy was then addressed by:
- Athina Markou (Current understanding of nicotine self-administration and dependence
in animals)
- Jed Rose (Importance of conditioning and sensorimotor factors in tobacco addiction)
- Maxine Stitzer (Treatment overview: The role
of behavioral pharmacology)
- Jack Henningfield (Psychopharmacology research
implications for national and global tobacco regulation).
Ian Stolerman and Henningfield served as co-chairs and Mitchell Zeller was the discussant.
