Neuropharmacological strategies for understanding psychobiological determinants of cognition.
Psychopharmacological methods that have proven useful in exploring brain processes can be helpful in describing the psychobiological determinants of distinct cognitive processes. The methods and theory in current cognitive science can be exploited by neuropharmacologists interested not only in describing brain function but in building a viable picture of brain-behavior (cognitive) relationships. This paper provides a sketch of our knowledge about the neuropharmacology of cognitive processes. It also cites some questions, problems and approaches for further research efforts that would help us describe the psychobiology of cognition.
