Overview of Core

The Behavioral Neuroscience Core of the COBRE focuses on pharmacological evaluation of natural products for neurobehavioral effects.  The studies target a battery of tests that could reveal potential membership of the tested compounds in one of four categories: opiate-like, stimulant-like, cannabinoid-like, and depressant-like actions. 



The Center of Research Excellence in Natural Products Neuroscience (CORE-NPN) is funded by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as one of its Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence
