Neuropharmacology Open Access Journals
Neuropharmacology examines how
drugs affect cell function in the nervous system and the mechanisms by which
neurons affect their behavior. There are two main branches of neuropharmacology: behavior and molecules. Behavioral
neuropharmacology focuses on examining how
drugs affect human behavior, including how drug addiction and addiction affect the human brain. Molecular
neuropharmacology includes the study of
neurons and their neurochemical interactions with the overall goal of developing
drugs that have a positive effect on neurological function. These two fields are closely related because they are related to the interaction of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, neurohormones, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messenger, co-transporters, ion channels and receptor proteins in the central and peripheral nervous system. By studying this interaction, the researchers developed
drugs to treat various neurological disorders, including pain,
neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, mental disorders, addictions, and more.
Neuropharmacology is a vast scientific area that covers many aspects of the nervous system, from the manipulation of a single neuron to the entire area of ​​the brain,
spinal cord and peripheral nerves. To better understand the fundamentals of drug development, we first need to understand how
neurons communicate with each other.
