DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drug abuse is one of the world's most challenging public health problems, taking a tremendous societal toll at many levels - from its cost (more than $484 billion per year in the U.S. alone for health care expenditures, lost earnings, and costs associated with crime and accidents) to the human suffering it causes in the form of cancer, heart disease, AIDS, stress, child abuse and other violence. This enormous burden affects all of society - substance abusers, their families, the educational system, industry, social welfare and criminal justice systems, and the public at large. Fortunately, recent scientific advances have revolutionized our understanding of addiction as a chronic disease, with dramatic implications for improving prevention and treatment. Some of the greatest advances have come from cross-disciplinary teams of chemists, physicists, and medical doctors using sophisticated brain-imaging technologies to reveal the mechanisms underlying the reinforcing, addictive, and toxic properties of drugs. To present recent brain-imaging advances in the field of drug addiction, we propose to hold a symposium titled "Addiction and the Brain: Are We Hard Wired to Abuse Drugs?" as part of the official program of the 2007 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), to be held in San Francisco, CA, February 15-19, 2007.

描述（由申请人提供）：滥用毒品是世界上最具挑战性的公共卫生问题之一，在许多层面上造成了巨大的社会损失 - 仅在美国，每年超过4840亿美元以超过4840亿美元的价格，用于医疗保健支出，损失的收入，损失的收入以及与犯罪和事故相关的成本）到癌症，心脏疾病，心脏病，虐待和其他遭受虐待和其他虐待，遭受虐待和其他遭受虐待，遭受虐待和其他遭受虐待，遭受虐待，遭受了虐待，遭受了虐待，其他暴力，儿童和其他遭受侵害。这种巨大的负担影响了所有社会 - 滥用毒品，其家庭，教育系统，工业，社会福利和刑事司法系统以及整个公众。幸运的是，最近的科学进步彻底改变了我们对成瘾作为一种慢性疾病的理解，对改善预防和治疗的影响很大。一些最大的进步来自化学家，物理学家和医生的跨学科团队，使用精致的脑成像技术来揭示药物加强，上瘾和有毒特性的基础机制。为了介绍吸毒领域的最新大脑成像进步，我们建议举办一场名为“成瘾和大脑的研讨会：我们是否很难滥用滥用药物”？作为美国科学发展协会（AAAS）2007年年会的正式计划的一部分，将于2007年2月15日至19日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。
