RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Drugs as Reinforcers in Monkey and Man JF Pharmacological Reviews JO Pharmacol Rev FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 511 OP 521 VO 27 IS 4 A1 Charles R. Schuster YR 1975 UL http://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/27/4/511.abstract AB I have presented data to illustrate and evaluate the use of animal experiments on behavior maintained by drug injection as an animal model of human drug abuse. I believe, the data justify the cautious application of such an animal model for predicting the abuse potential of a new drug, for evaluating new forms of treatment, and finally, for investigating biological and environmental variables controlling drug taking behavior. However, there are a variety of assumptions whenever we extrapolate conclusions from laboratory studies to man in his natural environment. 1971, by The Williams & Wilkins Co.
