Neuroscience matters
Neuroscience is the foundation for mental health prescribing, especially as
the future moves toward symptom-based prescribing rather than selecting a
drug class based on a diagnosis. Know what area of the brain is associated
with presenting symptoms AND how the medication works on that area of the
brain to treat that symptom (the medication mechanism of action)
Functional neuroanatomy
Classifying how regions within the nervous system relate to psychology and
behavior.
If a particular area of the brain is affected, what is the expected response?
What symptoms would you expect to see? Link the assessment to the
affected brain area.

Epigenetics
the study of influences on gene expression that occur without a DNA change
Why is epigenetics important?
Involved in switching genes on and off
i.e. controlling transcription/translation
How does epigenetics impact a person's mental health?
Genetics
The scientific study of heredity
How does the CYP450 affect pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics?
