Abstract:
«Neuropharmacology for psychologists» is intended for students-humanities, primarily for future psychologists. This discipline is taught to them in senior courses, when basic physiological information is forgotten, so — synaptic transmission and basics of neuroendocrinology are recalled at this book beginning, where some points of possible exposure to a substance, drug, and possible subsequent neuropsychological changes are considered. Students-humanities do not encounter pharmacology, so the following section outlines them the basics of this discipline (features of the effect of a substance depending on its dose, route of administration, duration of exposure, etc.). The third part of this book describes private neuropharmacology, which is usually reduced textbooks on this discipline. Concrete classes and groups of medicinal neurotropic drugs are considered, examples of such drugs are given here. In practice, real psychologist will have to deal with drug problems, so, at the end, some fundamentals of narcology are given, — general patterns, the modern classification of narcotic drugs and substances causing toxicomania, examples of such specific substances.
