Prenatal cannabis exposure is associated with adverse offspring outcomes including altered neurodevelopment. However, there is insufficient evidence to establish a direct association. We sought to determine the impact of chronic prenatal delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure on offspring neurodevelopment and emotional behavior in a translational rhesus macaque model. Animals were divided...

The current study was designed to extend our knowledge of the N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor system in mediating the discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol in non-human primates. To characterize the discriminative stimulus effects of the NMDA uncompetitive antagonists dizocilpine, phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine in male and female monkeys under different ethanol training...
