"Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect function in the nervous system, and the neural mechanisms through which they influence behavior."
The study of how drugs affect the nervous system. Learn about the different classes of drugs, their mechanism of action, and their therapeutic uses.
"There are two main branches of neuropharmacology: behavioral and molecular."
"Behavioral neuropharmacology focuses on the study of how drugs affect human behavior (neuropsychopharmacology), including the study of how drug dependence and addiction affect the human brain."
"Molecular neuropharmacology involves the study of neurons and their neurochemical interactions, with the overall goal of developing drugs that have beneficial effects on neurological function."
"Both of these fields are closely connected, since both are concerned with the interactions of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, neurohormones, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messengers, co-transporters, ion channels, and receptor proteins in the central and peripheral nervous systems."
"The overall goal of molecular neuropharmacology is to develop drugs that have beneficial effects on neurological function."
"Researchers are developing drugs to treat many different neurological disorders, including pain, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, psychological disorders, addiction, and many others."
