  • Call For Papers Honoring Dr. Klaus Miczek

    We are planning a Special Issue of Psychopharmacology to honor the contributions of Dr. Klaus Miczek to the fields of behavioral pharmacology, stress, aggression, and alcohol research.

    Please let us know by December 15 if you are interested in contributing to the special issue.

  • Call for Papers: EBPS 2023 special edition; Stress, Trauma and Cannabinoids

    Cannabinoids regulate the HPA-axis allowing an individual to regulate a healthy level of stress. But there is also evidence to suggest that the levels of circulating endocannabinoids such as AEA and 2-AG are different between individuals and are impacted by genetics and environment. We are interested in papers from animal and human studies including original articles and reviews.

    Deadline: Initial submissions due 31st of December 2024.
