New Developments in Behavioural Pharmacology

The study of behavioural pharmacology has always been the cornerstone of understanding the processes behind the behaviour of organisms and the biological basis that affects human behaviour, emotion, and cognitive impairment. The discoveries in this field help to explore the possible therapeutic effects of various substances on the treatment of the above-mentioned diseases. This chapter gives a brief introduction to today's vast fields. First, we tried to put behavioural pharmacology and its relevance in context, and then we showed some brief examples of how the discipline has developed over the years. Second, given the importance of animal models and tests in this field, we reviewed the concept of "research models" in preclinical behavioural pharmacology, and then quickly reviewed the latest advances in using zebra fish as a valuable tool. Third, more specific examples are omitted, such as the results of studies on sleep disorders and people related to sex hormones and menopause.
