Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to teach advanced concepts related to the pharmacology of the central nervous system, to provide students with a more detailed understanding of the roles of specific functioning neurotransmitters in brain functioning, to give detailed information about the drugs that affect these neurotransmitter systems and are used in central nervous system diseases and to develop their skills in their experimental use.
Course Content
To teach advanced concepts related to the pharmacology of the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system, to provide a more detailed understanding of the roles of specific functioning neurotransmitters in the functioning of the brain and peripheral nerves, to give detailed information about the drugs that affect these neurotransmitter systems and are used in central nervous system diseases and to develop their skills in their experimental use.
