NEUROPHARMACOLOGY
Anjula Sachan, Sarvesh Singh, Pratap Shankar*, Rajendra Nath, Amod Kumar Sachan and Rakesh Kumar Dixit
ABSTRACT Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect cellular function in the nervous system. To better understand the basis behind drug development, one must first understand how neurons communicate with one another. Researchers are developing drugs to treat many different neurological disorders, including pain, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, psychological disorders, addiction, and many others. To understand the potential advances in medicine that neuropharmacology can bring, it is important to understand how human behavior and thought processes are transferred from neuron to neuron and how medications can alter the chemical foundations of these processes. This article will focus on both behavioral and molecular neuropharmacology; the major receptors, ion channels, and neurotransmitters manipulated through drug action and how people with a neurological disorder benefit from this drug action. Keywords: different neurological disorders, including pain, neurodegenerative diseases. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
