Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology is a branch of pharmacology that explores the interactions between drugs and the nervous system. It delves into how various compounds affect neural function, studying the mechanisms by which drugs influence the central and peripheral nervous systems. This field plays a crucial role in developing medications for neurological and psychiatric disorders, aiming to understand drug actions, optimize therapeutic benefits, and minimize side effects. Neuropharmacologists investigate neurotransmitter pathways, receptor interactions, and the impact of drugs on neural circuits, contributing to advancements in the treatment of conditions like depression, anxiety, and neurodegenerative diseases
