PSY 41900 - Psychopharmacology

Examines the chemical substrates of behavior and the influences of various drugs (experimental, clinical, and recreational) on the nervous system and behavior. Pharmacological principles, behavioral procedures, neurophysiology, and synaptic transmission are reviewed. Major neurotransmitter systems in the brain are discussed in terms of the behaviors in which they are involved and the drugs that affect them. Emphasis is placed on using drug effects to understand the brain’s control of behavior.
