Animal Neurobiology
- Effects of potential
neuroactive compounds in the environment.
- Characterizing the effects of
continuous nicotine exposure (using implanted
osmotic pumps) and exposure to tobacco smoke on
brain responses in rats.
Dr. Roger Buchanan relocated to
Jonesboro and Arkansas State University from The
National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) in
1992. From 1990 to 1992 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow
in the Lab for Neurobiology at the National
Institutes of Health (NINDS). In 1992 he was awarded
a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neurobiology at the
Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Dr.
Buchanan and collaborators at UAMS, (Drs. Robert
Skinner and Edgar Garcia-Rill) have putatively
identified a novel site of action for nicotine.
They, along with postdoc Dr. Nori Mamiya, presented
a poster “Novel Site of Action for Nicotine:
Inhibition of Cholinergic Pedunculopontine (PPN)
Output” at the 33rd Annual Meeting for the Society
for Neuroscience held in New Orleans in November,
2003. Additional data will be presented at meetings
of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies and
the Society for Research of Nicotine and Tobacco.
