The Laboratory of Neuropharmacology (NeuroPhar) is a UPF research group that is associated with the IMIM. NeuroPhar studies the neurobiological substrate of drug addiction, pain, cognitive deficits, affective and eating disorders. The main interest of this research group is the development of research lines aimed at the identification of new therapeutic targets in the central nervous system.
The Laboratory of Neuropharmacology is interested in the neurochemical and neuroanatomical bases of addiction induced by opioids, cannabinoids, nicotine and psychostimulants.
