PRELIMIN AR Y PR OGR AMME INTRODUCTION

In this EURON course different topics in Psychopharmacology will be presented. The topics for this event are Neurodegeneration, Neurodevelopment, Psychosis, Addiction and Experimental Medicine, and Drug Development and Neurohealth. The students will be introduced into the latest developments in these fields and will get a better understanding of how drugs work in the brain and drugs can be developed for treatment in various brain diseases. Participants can attend presentations as well as engage in different interactive workshops. Participants also have the opportunity to present their own research in poster sessions. We encourage active participation and active engagement in discussions with the experts in the field. Next to the scientific programme there will also be a social programme.
