Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology is a branch of study which deals with drugs that influence the nervous system. It is focused on the improvement of compounds that may be of advantage to people who suffer from neurological or psychiatric sickness. Neuropharmacology itself came into presence only five decades ago, earlier to which there were only four drugs accessible for nerve disorders: morphine, caffeine, nitrous oxide, and aspirin. In the next 50 years, a new set of drugs such as antihistamines, barbiturates, and opioid analogs have emerged.
