Review: This booklet, in both English and French, provides an overview of the current status of biomedical research in the drug field from the perspective of three current themes – novel methodologies, developments and considerations. The current themes that it looks at are: social cognitive neuroscience; behavioural/systems neuroscience; clinical neuroscience; molecular and cellular neuroscience; and the genetics of dependence. The novel methodologies cover: imaging techniques; techniques for detecting electrical and neurotransmitter activity; and techniques for quantifying and visualising target molecules in the brain. Finally, the developments and considerations include: the overall framework; ethical issues; and the neuroscience research community.
