Neuropharmacology in the Era of Precision Medicine: From Synaptic Targets to Personalized Therapies.

Neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders show wide variability in treatment response, thus limiting the effectiveness of traditional symptom-based neuropharmacology. Precision medicine offers a more targeted approach by combining pharmacogenomics, multi-omics data, and artificial intelligence to guide individua...
