InternationalizationInternationalization has been a permanent concern <strong>of</strong> the <strong>CNC</strong> strategy. To attain this goal the researchershave been encouraged to establish colaborations <strong>and</strong> joint projects with laboratories abroad, <strong>and</strong> tocolaborate in the organizaton <strong>of</strong> international scientific meetings. A third action line <strong>of</strong> theInternationalization strategy is the Graduate Studies Programme which is described in the next section <strong>of</strong>this report.Projects jointly with laboratories abroad<strong>Neuroscience</strong> <strong>and</strong> DiseaseAdenosine A2A <strong>and</strong> dopamine D4‐7 receptor heteromers: molecular target <strong>for</strong> caffeine in attention‐deficithyperactivity disorder.
