Psychopharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on the functioning of cells in the nervous system and the neural mechanisms by which drugs affect behavior. Psychopharmacology has two main areas: behavior and molecules. Behavioral neuropharmacology focuses primarily on research on the effects of drugs on human behavior, including research on how drug addiction and addiction affect the human brain. Molecular neuropharmacology includes the overall goal of drug development with beneficial effects on neural function and the study of neurochemical interactions with neurons. Because these two areas are related to the interaction of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, neurohormones, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messengers, airborne sonches, ion channels, and receptor proteins in both central and peripheral nervous systems. Closely linked. Researchers studying these interactions are developing drugs to treat a variety of neurological disorders, including pain, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, psychiatric disorders, and addictions.
