Course Details
• Advanced Neuropharmacology: The study of the interaction between neuroactive drugs and the nervous system, including the brain, and how these interactions affect behavior, cognition, and mental processes. This unit will cover advanced topics such as neurotransmitter systems, neuromodulation, and neural plasticity.
• Neuropharmacology of Addiction: This unit will delve into the specific neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying addiction, including the role of various neurotransmitters and brain regions in the development and maintenance of addiction. Students will also learn about current and emerging treatments for addiction.
• Neuropharmacology of Mental Disorders: This unit will explore the neuropharmacological basis of various mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Students will learn about the different classes of drugs used to treat these disorders, as well as their mechanisms of action and side effects.
• Nutritional Neuroscience: This unit will examine the role of nutrition in brain function and behavior. Students will learn about the effects of various nutrients on neuronal function, neurotransmitter synthesis, and brain plasticity. The unit will also cover the impact of diet on mental health and neurological disorders.
• Nutritional Neuropharmacology: This unit will explore the interaction between nutrition and neuropharmacology, including the effects of diet on drug metabolism, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics. Students will also learn about the use of nutraceuticals and functional foods in the treatment of neurological disorders.
• Neuroimaging and Neuropharmacology: This unit will cover the use of neuroimaging techniques in neuropharmacological research, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and electroencephalography (EEG). Students will learn about the advantages and limitations of these techniques, as well as how they can be used to investigate the neural mechanisms of drug action.
