PHR 350. Introduction to Neuropharmacology. 3 credits.

This course is designed as an introductory course in pharmacology and neuropharmacology for students who have majored in or who have professional interests in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, psychology, pre-health professions and pre-medicine.

Neuropharmacology applies the basic principles of pharmacology to the nervous system and the tissues and organs that the nervous system regulates. Pharmacology gives a unique perspective in understanding how cells, organ systems, and organisms function. Pharmacology uses a systematic approach to investigate drug mechanisms causing a biological event for therapeutic use--from the molecular level to the whole animal. These pharmacological approaches also allow us to study how biological systems fail to function, providing information on the etiology of disease. Pharmacology research is essential for the development, testing and clinical use of drugs to treat disease. P: BIO 201, 202, CHM 203, 321, Jr. stdg. or IC.
