Having probably already been educated about drugs, how would you like to learn some facts?
Neuropharmacology is the study of how certain classes of chemicals interact with the nervous system. This class will focus on the behavioral (neuropsychopharmacological) effects and neurochemical action of psychotropic drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational) in the human nervous system. Up for discussion are depressants (vicodin, alcohol, opium), antidepressants (prozac, zoloft) stimulants (adderall, ritalin, methamphetamine, cocaine), anti-psychotics (thorazine, abilify), psychedelics (LSD, DMT, psilocybin), dissociatives (ketamine, salvia), and many more!
