Neuropharmacology employs knowledge derived from neuroscience research to determine how psychotherapeutic and psychotomimetic drugs and neurotoxins act in the CNS and the neurochemical substrates that mediate their activity. The proposed training program combines the talents of neuroscientists and trainee recruiting resources from three ongoing programs [The Department of Pharmacology The College of Medicine, The Division of Pharmacology, The College of Pharmacy and The Neuroscience Program an intercollegiate program]. The training program will provide the next generation of scientists with the intellectual and technical skills needed to continue with the important task of unmasking the mechanism of action of psychotherapeutic drugs, developing new therapeutic agents and understanding the cause of mental illness. Two predoctoral trainees are requested for the first year and four each year thereafter for a total of five years of funding. One postdoctoral trainee is requested for the first year and two for the following years. The predoctoral trainees will be eligible for the program after becoming a candidate for a Ph.D. i.e., after completing the General Examination. It is anticipated that trainees will complete their thesis requirement in two years. Postdoctoral trainees are anticipated to complete training in two years. The faculty are a cohesive group of funded neuroscientists with contemporary and traditional neuropharmacological research experiences including molecular biotechnology, neurochemistry, cell culture, patch-clamp recording and image analysis capabilities. The training program takes advantage of all of the research, teaching and recruiting resources of three major programs at The Ohio State University.

神经药理学利用神经科学研究的知识来确定精神治疗和拟精神病药物和神经毒素如何在CNS中起作用以及介导其活性的神经化学底物。拟议的培训计划结合了神经科学家的才能和来自三个正在进行的计划的学员招聘资源[药理学系医学院，药理学系，药学院和神经科学计划的校际计划]。该培训计划将为下一代科学家提供所需的智力和技术技能，以继续完成揭开精神治疗药物作用机制、开发新的治疗药物和了解精神疾病原因的重要任务。第一年需要两名博士前学员，此后每年需要四名，总共资助五年。第一年需要一名博士后实习生，随后几年需要两名。博士预科生在成为博士候选人后将有资格参加该计划。也就是说，完成一般考试后。预计学员将在两年内完成论文要求。博士后学员预计将在两年内完成培训。该学院是一个由受资助的神经科学家组成的有凝聚力的团队，他们具有现代和传统的神经药理学研究经验，包括分子生物技术，神经化学，细胞培养，膜片钳记录和图像分析能力。该培训计划利用了俄亥俄州州立大学三个主要项目的所有研究，教学和招聘资源。
