Symposium: "Psychiatry & Neuroscience--The Past, Present and Future of Brain and Behavior" (UCLA: Los Angeles, California, 8 February 2002)

Psychiatry & Neuroscience
The Past, Present and Future of Brain and Behavior
A Symposium Marking the 40th Anniversary of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric
Institute and Brain Research Institute
Friday, February 8, 2002
NPI/Louis Jolyon West Auditorium, UCLA
Los Angeles, California
Many of the speakers will highlight breakthrough research on dopamine
and its role in psychiatric disorders ranging from the addictions to
schizophrenia. The significance of the research presented at this
symposium, however, extends far beyond a single molecule or brain
system. The work of these researchers exemplifies the broad connections
between mind and brain, psychiatry and neuroscience, and bedside and
laboratory. To this end, the speakers will address historical,
clinical, and neurobiological aspects of dopamine and their
relationship to the broader questions of psychiatry and neuroscience.
Participants will receive a detailed syllabus including lecture
outlines and reference materials. As part of this symposium and the
celebration of the two Institutes' 40th anniversaries, we are
constructing a Web-based history. This can be found at

There is no fee for attending this Symposium, and reservations are not
required for the lecture program.
