Neuropharmacology and Neurobiochemistry

Neuropharmacology is the study of drug actions on nervous system, mainly deals in developing the compounds for human’s benefits with psychiatric and neurological disease. Behavioural neuropharmacology focuses on the examine of how drugs have an effect on human behavior (neuropsychopharmacology), along with the study of how drug dependence and addiction affect the human brain. In depth it represents the neural mechanism and interactions of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messengers, neuropeptides, necrohormones, co-transporters, ion channels, and receptor proteins in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This interactions study provides an idea which help in developing new treatment and approaches to treat various neurological diseases.

Neurobiochemistry Neurochemistry is the study of neurochemicals which consist of neuromessenger, and other molecules such as psychopharmaceuticals and neuropeptides, that effect the function of neurons by operating of neurons, synapses and neural networks. Neurochemists examine biochemistry and molecular biology of organic compounds in the brain and their functions in neural processes as brain plasticity, neurogenesis, and neural differentiation.
