CNS DRUG DESIGNS, ACTIONS, AND APPLICATIONS II

PHARMACY 771
Course Description

Gain additional understanding of how chemical features can influence the biological activity of a molecule on molecular targets within the central nervous system, how alteration of signaling through these targets occurs and leads to physiologically relevant changes, and how major classes of pharmaceuticals acting on the central nervous system are applied in healthcare settings to improve patient outcomes. Integration between concepts arising at the chemical, molecular, cellular, systems, organism, and societal levels will be explored.
