This specialization explores how molecular and genetic changes at the synapse influence neurotransmission, behavior, and disease. Through modules on receptor pharmacology, neurotransmitter systems, and genetic mechanisms, students will learn how drugs and mutations alter neural communication and contribute to neurological and psychiatric conditions. By the end of the course, learners will be able to connect pharmacological principles to real-world examples of brain function and dysfunction.
