Neuropsychopharmacology
introduces students to the neurochemical and molecular underpinnings of behavior, with special emphasis on the biological principles underlying the etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of mental disorders. As a broad subdiscipline of neuroscience, it is ideal for those seeking to integrate neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, pharmacology and the behavioural sciences. It will provide a thorough understanding and appreciation about how basic and clinical research can be synthesized and used for the development of various forms of therapies.
