Neuropharmacology is a field of pharmacology dedicated to understanding how medications influence the nervous system. It involves understanding the mechanisms by which drugs alter brain function and influence neurological health. This field plays a crucial role in developing medications for a wide range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Research in neuropharmacology continues to uncover novel therapeutic targets and improve the effectiveness of current treatments. The ongoing development of targeted drug therapies promises to enhance patient outcomes and reduce side effects.
