<p>While neuropharmacology is concerned with the effects of drugs on nervous tissue and psychopharmacology with their effects on behavior, often in the treatment of mental illness, this study focuses on precisely defining the effect of these drugs on normal animal behavior and to "devise animal model behavior systems for discovering and assessing modifications of these clinically valuable drugs." The authors "describe the achievements of psychopharmacology in providing behavior methods for assaying drug action,..and gives a "brief resume of the subject matter of neuropharmacology." The final section discusses some clinical implications.</p>
