Clinical Immunology, Neuropharmacology and Drug Development

Neuropsychopharmacology and Addiction Medicine

Dive into the complex interplay between neuropharmacology and addiction medicine in this session. Explore the neurobiology of addiction, including the reward circuitry, craving pathways, and neuroadaptations associated with substance use disorders. Discuss pharmacological interventions for addiction treatment, including agonist and antagonist therapies, behavioral interventions, and medication-assisted treatments. Topics will also include the use of neuropharmacological approaches in managing co-occurring psychiatric disorders and addressing the opioid epidemic. Join us for thought-provoking discussions, evidence-based practices, and innovative strategies for tackling addiction and promoting recovery.
