An implicit premise in neuropsychopharmacology with regard to the psychological aspects is that all states of mind, including both normal and drug-induced altered states, and diseases involving mental or cognitive dysfunction, have a neurochemical basis at the fundamental level, and certain circuit pathways in the central nervous system at a higher level.
The most basic and fundamental neurological phenomena in neuropharmacology is the binding of a drug or neurologically active substance to a cellular target. One assay to determine the extent at which a ligand binds to its receptor is the radioligand binding assay (RBA), in which specific binding of a radioactively-labeled ligand is denoted by ...

The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Oxford University Press.It is an official journal of the Collegium Internationale Neuro-Psychopharmacologicum (CINP) (International College of Neuro-Psychopharmacology) and covers basic and clinical topics in neuropharmacology and psychopharmacology.
Neurochemistry is the study of chemicals, including neurotransmitters and other molecules such as psychopharmaceuticals and neuropeptides, that control and influence the physiology of the nervous system.
