Such substances have cured diseases, started wars, and ended careers. This seminar will explain how drugs can elicit a range of medicinal and recreational effects. Planned topics include over-the-counter drugs and "dietary supplements," drugs of abuse, treatments for neurological disorders, psychiatric medications, and many more. Prior experience is neither expected nor required, but student participation is essential.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Special-Programs/SP-236Spring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmGusman, MariyaFallows, Zak2009-06-24T03:45:18-04:00SP.236ESG.SP236en-USExperimental Study GroupSubstance Abuse/Addiction Counselingopioidsnorepinephrineendocrine systemsendocannabinoidsacetylcholineLSDbarbituatesalcoholserotoninschizophreniaADHDParkinson'sdopamineneurotransmitterscentral nervous systempharmacologySpecial ProgramsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

When they do stop to breathe, it's for a shower or a meal. What does this have to do with Creative Writing? Everything. Creative Writing and MIT go together better than you might imagine. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Special-Programs/SP-292Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmYoung, Jessica2009-05-15T04:00:37-04:00SP.292ESG.SP292en-USExperimental Study GroupCreative WritingOuLiPocontributors' notesatireessaymicrofictionrevisionreflectionreadingworkshopwritingcreative writingSpecial ProgramsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
