Neuropharmacology is a very broad region of science that encompasses many aspects of the nervous system from single neuron manipulation to entire areas of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. To better understand the basis behind drug development, one must first understand how neurons communicate with one another. [citation needed]

Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of neuroscience. It was established in 1962 as the International Journal of Neuropharmacology and obtained its current name in 1970.
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 ...
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. It was established in 1998 by Bernard Lerer, who served as editor-in-chief until 2008. [1] [2]
The annual meeting of the College is a closed meeting; only the ACNP members and their invited guests may attend. [4] Because of the College's intense concern with, and involvement in, the education and training of tomorrow's brain scientists, the College selects a number of young scientists to be invited to the annual meeting through a competitive process open to all early career researchers.
The Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal publishes original articles, brief reports, reviews devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 2.009 . [ 1 ]
