This document serves as a full-course study guide for PSY330 – Drugs and Human Behavior, offering a thorough overview of drug effects on the brain, behavior, and physiology. It begins with a foundation in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, covering major brain structures, the synapse, neurotransmitter types (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine), and their pathways. Key concepts in drug administration, absorption, metabolism, and elimination are outlined alongside pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Students are introduced to stimulants, depressants, opioids, hallucinogens, cannabis, and psychotherapeutic medications, with detailed mechanisms, therapeutic uses, risks, and tolerance development. The guide explains how psychoactive drugs alter mood, perception, cognition, and behavior through their interaction with neurotransmitter systems. Models of drug addiction—including the disease model, moral model, learning model, and biopsychosocial model—are analyzed in clinical and social contexts. Other major themes include drug policy, scheduling, historical context of substance use, prescription misuse, and sociocultural influences. The guide also includes coverage of behavioral addiction, treatment strategies (CBT, pharmacological intervention), and public health approaches to substance use. Ideal for: – Students in PSY330 or equivalent courses in Drug Psychology or Psychopharmacology – Psychology, Neuroscience, Pre-Med, Nursing, and Behavioral Science majors – Learners preparing for exams on substance use, addiction, and neurobehavioral drug effects – Courses focusing on neuropharmacology, behavioral health, and clinical interventions Keywords: PSY330, drugs and behavior, psychopharmacology, neurotransmitters, drug classes, stimulants, depressants, opioids, cannabis, hallucinogens, addiction, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, brain systems, drug metabolism, tolerance, dependence, drug abuse, substance use disorder, pharmacodynamics, drug policy, behavioral addiction, CBT, treatment models, biopsychosocial
