Neuropharmacology and Neurochemistry

Neuropharmacology and genetic aspects of CNS function

Neuropharmacology is the study of how medications affect the nervous system with the goal of creating drugs that can help people with neurological and psychiatric disorders. These include Rett syndrome, Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, Single-gene mutation and fragile X syndrome. In these circumstances, the single-gene mutation results in the aberrant development and dysfunction of a few neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
