A View of Psychopharmacology, Neuroscience, and the Major Psychoses

  • Conference paper
Neuropsychopharmacology

Abstract

This paper summarizes and highlights a few areas of neuropsychopharmacology. These areas of research have been selected because they have particular interest, involve the critical interaction between basic and clinical investigations, and may be relevant to the development of new drugs in the treatment of manic-depressive illness and schizophrenia.
