- The last three by Block and colleagues may be the best *chronic* studies
- available.
-
- Also, given that you are neighbors, you might want to get in touch with
- the folks at UNTHSC (used to be TCOM) Department of Pharmacology in Fort
- Worth. They have a significant presence in Substance Abuse Research and
- are heading up the Substance Abuse Insitute of North Texas (SAINT).

- Hope this helps, Jonathan
