PSYC 4050   Introduces students to the basics of drug administration, absorption, metabolism, and excretion, as well as how drugs act at neuronal synapses to cause changes in neuronal function. The connection is then made from these neuronal functional changes to broader behavioral changes associated with various legal, illegal, and prescription psychoactive drugs. Also examines the use of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and other drug therapies for the treatment of psychopathologies. PSYC 3050  recommended before taking. Prerequisites: PSYC 1010 , PSYC 2020 , and PSYC 2512  or permission of the instructor. (3)
