Answering questions about electronic cigarettes using a multidisciplinary model
Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) are a relatively new class of tobacco products and a subject of much debate for scientists and policymakers worldwide. Objective data that address the ECIG risk-benefit ratio for individual and public health are needed, and addressing this need requires a multidisciplinary approach that spans several areas of psychology as well as chemistry, toxicant inhalation, and physiology. This multidisciplinary approach would b…

Availability and Characteristics of Betel Products in the U.S
Betel use involves oral placement of shards of areca nut (Areca catechu palm seed containing the cholinergic agonist arecoline) wrapped with slaked lime in a betel leaf (Piper betle plant) or various chopped or powdered products containing areca nut and/or parts of the betel plant.

Effects of Phencyclidine on Isolation-Induced Aggression in Mice
Mice, isolated 6 to 8 wk. to induce aggression, were injected with either saline, 1.0, or 3.0 mg/kg phencyclidine (PCP) i.p. After 30 min., an untreated, group-housed mouse (intruder) was introduced into the home cage of each isolated mouse (resident) for a 3-min. period. The frequency of resident mouse attack bites, tail rattles, nasal contacts, locomotions, and rearings was recorded by time sampling. The 1.0 mg/kg PCP dose increased the attack …
