One form of behavioral neuropharmacology focuses on the study of drug dependence and how drug addiction affects the human mind.

The image to the right shows how dopamine is projected into this area.
Antimony potassium tartrate, also known as potassium antimonyl tartrate, potassium antimontarterate, or tartar emetic, [3] has the formula K 2 Sb 2 (C 4 H 2 O 6) 2.The compound has long been known as a powerful emetic, and was used in the treatment of schistosomiasis and leishmaniasis.
