Introduction
Drug Discrimination is widely recognised as one of the major methods for studying the behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of drugs and plays an important role in drug discovery and investigations of drug abuse. This WWW page provides access to Dr. Ian Stolerman's ongoing Comprehensive Bibliography of Drug Discrimination Research.
You can search the database by entering your own terms from the keyboard or picking from lists of all the terms in the database. You can download the bibliography, too. The database files at this site will be updated about 4 times per year. You can receive automatic notification of changes to this site.
This bibliography is maintained by Dr. Ian P. Stolerman, Section of Behavioural Pharmacology, Institute of Psychiatry in London, England and this website is maintained by Dr. Jonathan Ben Kamien of BioPsych Consulting. Of course, there have been several others who have made significant contributions as well.

Details about the Bibliography
The bibliography is a list of 3,956 references published between 1951 and 2007, along with some from 2008 (see graph), and includes abstracts, journal articles, book chapters and books. Each reference is followed by a list of standardized keywords that were used to index the bibliography. Most of the keywords are generic drug names but they also include methodological terms, species studied and drug classes. This index makes it possible to selectively retrieve references according to the drugs used as the training stimuli, drugs used as test stimuli, drugs used as pretreatments, species, etc. by entering your own terms or by using our comprehensive lists of search terms.
