Increasing ecological validity in neuropsychopharmacology research on the relationship between alcohol use and uncertain stressors
We enthusiastically read Gorka et al.[1]. Earlier laboratory work from both their group and
authors of this letter (eg, refs.[2, 3]) highlight stressor uncertainty as a key moderator of …
