The Laboratory of Neuropharmacology (NeuroPhar) is a UPF research group 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 particularly interested in the involvement of the endogenous opioid and cannabinoid systems in these pathological processes.
