Scope: This course focuses on the neuronal and neurochemcial mechanisms
underlying the behavioral response to psychoactive drugs. A basic
understanding of neuronal function is required; some background in
chemistry is helpful but not essential. Course material has been
chosen to provide detailed, up-to-date information that can serve as both
a guide for following research in the field and a basis for understanding
current approaches to drug therapy for various neurological and
psychiatric disorders.
