The course addresses our current understanding of drug targets in the brain, the pharmacology of CNS active drugs as well as drug discovery strategies, allowing students to become familiar with the fascinating field of neuropsychopharmacology.
Course Description
Major classes of pharmacotherapeuticals for the clinical management of neurological and psychiatric diseases and the pathological mechanisms of these brain disorders will be discussed by leading experts in (pre)clinical research.
