Research in Dr. Charles France's lab focuses on interactions between behavior and pharmacology and how those interactions impact the abuse liability of drugs. 

The lab's major goal is to understand how the subjective and other abuse-related effects of drugs change as a consequence of particular behavioral and pharmacologic histories. Behavioral procedures developed in this laboratory permit systemic investigation of drug dependence and withdrawal and ongoing studies examine how these phenomena can be modified by behavioral and pharmacologic interventions.
