Students taking the pharmacology course need a strong foundation in neurochemistry grounded in the most current research in the field. It is challenging to present the material at a level and depth that is engaging for both undergraduate and graduate level students, and students majoring in
disciplines from psychology to biology and neuroscience. Meyer, Psychopharmacology and it's accompanying enhanced ebook provide engaging features like self-study questions, and clinical case studies, cutting edge research, and applied pharmacology to keep students focused on the content, while
providing the scientific depth, breadth, and rigor required for the course.
