Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect the neural circuits that control behaviour and the biological processes of the nervous system. Behavioural and molecular neuropharmacology are its two primary subfields. The primary focus of behavioural neuropharmacology is the investigation of how drugs affect human behaviour, particularly the study of how drug addiction and addiction impact the human brain. Molecular neuropharmacology is the study of neurons and how they interact with neurochemicals.
